MoMA in New York is currently exhibiting examples of progressive design for children from the 20th century. Everything from toys, books and furniture illustrates how design has been and continues to be a stimulus of children’s growth. The toys and text books speak of their time and opens up for reflections of how we design for children nowadays and what the toys of our time will tell in the future.
Century of the Child runs to November 5th.
