oldest known and remaining piece of aluminium in art and design
Charles Christofle, in 1858, designed the centerpiece for Napoleon III.. it's one of the oldest remaining pieces of aluminium used in design existing today.
"I believe that if we see design as a way of shaping the future of our world, it should be as exciting and thrilling as a great film or book. At the same time, it should communicate not only who we are, but also how we would ideally like our world to be."
- Tord Boontje
"To whom does design address itself: to the greatest number, to the specialist of an enlightened matter, to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need."
- Charles Eames
"Good design is making something intelligible and memorable. Great design is making something memorable and meaningful."
