On view until 28 September, the exhibition features more than 150 historical works – mostly from the Shaker Museum in Chatham, New York – including furniture, tools, domestic objects and architecture, paired with new commissions by Christien Meindertsma, Amie Cunat, Finnegan Shannon and David Hartt.
The exhibition design is by Milan-based studio Formafantasma. A poetic and political reflection on the power of essential, meaningful design.
