50 highlights. The collection presentation of Design Museum Gent

You can't design for the future without understanding the past. This idea underpins the new collection presentation at the Design Museum Gent. Founded in 1903, the museum has undergone a 4.5-year renovation and has now reopened, showcasing nearly 500 objects.

To mark the occasion, two catalogues have been released: one extensive and in-depth, and a smaller volume highlighting 50 key pieces from the new collection presentation. Both are structured around five themes: imitation/copy, comfort, migration, folding/bending, and connections. In 50 Highlights, these themes provide the framework for a curated selection of the most significant objects in the collection presentation.

Both catalogues are available separately, but also as a beautifully designed combo.
