Evelien Bracke - Curator Talk: Collection. Models from the Past for the Future

What once seemed like the ultimate design solution can look very different through today's eyes. But how can a historical museum collection inspire the world of tomorrow?

In this talk, curator Evelien Bracke takes you behind the scenes of Collection. Models from the Past for the Future. She delves into the history of Design Museum Gent as a 'museum of models' and shows how forgotten techniques, crafts and clever design principles can feel surprisingly relevant today.

From inventive folding techniques and layered materials to critical questions about comfort, migration and imitation, discover how 500 objects from the collection become a mirror for the future. An inspiring session that challenges you to look beyond the form of an object.
