Crossing Parallels. German Design 1945-1990

Design from Germany gained worldwide significance at the beginning of the 20th century.

Exhibition Site Beijing, China

DATES 10/01/2023—16/04/2023

After 1949, it took a unique course: In the two parts of the divided country, the development of the pre-war period continued under completely different auspices. Together with the Vitra Design Museum, the SKD Museum of Decorative Arts presented the German design history of the post-war period in a major exhibition. The different lifeworlds, but also the parallels and cross-references between design in East and West became clear. The show abandoned the one-sided view of East or West and attempted to bring into focus the narrative of a nation that, due to the division, occupies a singular role in the modern writing of design history. From 10 January to 16 April 2023, the exhibition entitled "CROSSING PARALLELS. German Design 1945-1990" at the Tsinghua University Art Museum in Beijing.
