The exhibition covers all forms of design, from manufactured products to information architecture. The products will range from refugee shelters to baby strollers, from demining equipment to nutritional information, from protective sports gear, to toys that help children with psychological impairments regain a sense of self and of the world surrounding them. SAFE will explore the fine line that divides function from emotion, as well as the surprising skill and poetry with which the best contemporary designers tread it.
