O’Clock time design in Beijing
After its great success in Milan, the Triennale Design Museum is
presenting a new edition of the exhibition O’Clock - time design, design
time in the CAFA Art Museum in Beijing. Curated by Silvana
Annicchiarico and Jan van Rossem, the design and arrangement of the
exhibition is the work of Patricia Urquiola. The purpose of the show is
to explore the relationship between time and design and it has been
organised in partnership with the haute horlogerie watch brand Officine
Panerai, which at the opening ceremony will present an installation
devoted to the design of its watches devised by Patricia Urquiola. Compared to the display in Milan, the exhibition in Beijing includes an
expanded, updated selection of works which take account of China’s newly
emerging and already established design potential. Yet the relationship between time and design is actually much more
complex and it can open up surprising perspectives from the aesthetic
point of view as well as from the functional one.
