| | Touch Me: Design and Sensation - Victoria and Albert Museum - Absolutearts.com |
 | | The V&A, in collaboration with the Wellcome Trust, opens a uniquely touchable contemporary design exhibition, Touch Me, which explores the pleasures and sensations of touch, looking at the designed world around us now and what the future holds. |
 | | 'Their Lips Met' is a display curated by the artist Richard Wentworth, developed especially for Touch Me. Borrowing from both private and museum collections, Wentworth emphasises the mouth as the first organ of touch and taste, the place where infants start their exploration of the world and what it means. |
 | | Touch Me features work by a diverse range of international furniture, product, fashion and interaction designers including Hella Jongerius, IDEO, Karim Rashid, Marcel Wanders, Matali Crasset, Paul Cocksedge, Gitta Gschwendtner, Tokujin Yoshioka, Naomi Filmer and Shelley Fox. |
