On 13 June 2015 Jochen Eisenbrand will talk about finding the genius in
design for the everyday in the Coach House in Dublin Castle. Classic
design may be thought of as simplicity of form and economy of materials,
but what makes design truly genius? How often is something new designed
that is so useful, that it will become part of people’s lives across
the world? Jochen Eisenbrand will discuss te selection of the 35 hero
design objects celebrated in the exhibition “Hidden Heros”, exploring
what criteria he was seeking when selecting the designs.
