Where designers have introduced something more fanciful… they have not sacrificed functional requirements #design pic.twitter.com/0jIkL3X1y8

We’re lucky in Manchester to have exhibitions as good as this one on our doorstep, and it gives us an opportunity to be an active part of Manchester’s design community. But these field trips serve a bigger purpose for us, helping us to sharpen our critical skills as designers and to see our own work in its wider context. A part of how we, as designers at the Co-op, stay curious, deepen our own learning and apply that to what the Co-op is building now and in the future.
The exhibition at MMU’s Special Collections runs until 28 May. It’s well worth a visit.
