We have yet to visit New York City's Museum of Sex, because we pretty much know what to expect, but we're far too excited about their new exhibit, Sex in Design/Design in Sex.
Designed by Pentagram (design nerds unite in excitement!), the exhibit explores the relationship between sex and design. And the curators selected artifacts from the close of the World War era to today.
Sex in Design/Design in Sex will present a spectrum of sexual imagery, from the blatant to the subtly sensual, leading patrons through the nuances of the powerful and ever-present relationship between sex and design. Featured artifacts range from the objects that enhance our sexual exploits and play, to the suggestive utilitarian and decorative pieces that construct our environments, elucidating the power of design to trigger our erotic imaginations. From digital design to clothing design and from product design to “green” design, sex has served as a potent muse for designers and an indisputable obsession for consumers.
