Design Museum

I went to the design museum, as instructed to do so for 3D design research. It's a cute little place, not very big really.
There was an exhibition on sport, which if you're into sport i'm sure is great. It was quite interesting. They had some Stella McCartney Adidas clothes which I really liked because I really like her. Did you know she did her art foundation at Ravensbourne too?






















They also had an exhibition on in collaboration with Swarovski. If you know me, you will know that I like anything the sparkles (over the last week I bought a pair of sparkly shoes and two pairs of sparkly trousers). So I was absolutely mesmerised by the whole exhibition.  

There was a really cool video of computerised crystals forming (see below). It was so colourful and interesting I could have sat and watched it for ages.

Although I have to say my favourite piece was this giant collection of hanging crystals that were electronically programmed to separate and reform into a big mass shape. I don't think I have ever seen anything so beautiful, except maybe Damien Hirst's diamond skull, and a pair of bejewelled Louboutin shoes I saw in Harrods the other day. 


I've just picked out the highlights of the exhibition for me but there were a few cool things, like lazers forming 3D jewels and holographic images which appear when you approach them from certain angles.
I have to say I didn't find what is on at the moment to be what I was expecting from a design museum, but I suppose design encompasses so many different fields of art work that anything goes.
