Triennial of Design, Brussels - Belgium
Hosted by Design Flanders
December 13, 2007
Icsid will join Design Flanders to celebrate the 5th edition of its Triennial of Design on December 13, 2007. The City of Brussels hosted the Icsid Secretariat between 1974 and 1986 and has held a special place in Icsid's history, which makes for a great way to conclude the year's celebrations. This year's Triennial will take the theme of beauty as a discriminating factor between everyday products and designer objects. A new exhibition will show the results of a study and subsequent research bureau into the criteria that define beauty and why people are drawn to some objects and not others.
