Terms such as “redesign” and “readymade” play a seminal role in the exhibition New Olds. Its theme is using traditional working methods to process new materials, including the transformation of design classics. 60 objects demonstrate the wide field between the poles of tradition and innovation in contemporary design. What is special about this exhibition is that the subject is elucidated from an international perspective.

Project Management ifa
Forty-five designers and design groups from Germany, other European countries, and the USA have works in the exhibition. In addition, at each location of the tour works by local designers on the theme of the new and the old will supplement the exhibition. It is hoped that this will encourage a lively, international discourse.
