The Future of Things

On the 7 April 2013, there took place a workshop for children aged 4–12, to accompany the exhibition Everything Forever – Now: Polish and British Sustainable Design. To start, the children reflected on what a designer is and what the job involves and then created their own individual designer portfolios. Next, the participants viewed selected exhibits, including the project Pallet, M.A.M Airbag and Recycling. During their tour of the exhibition, the children stepped into the shoes of designers, creating inventive designs for furniture and models, which became part of their portfolios. To round off the session, the children created brightly coloured designer lapel badges.
