Ulm: Furniture
DKA has designed the display furniture for the exhibition, 'The Ulm Model' showing at Raven Row gallery from 5th October to 18th December. This will be the first exhibition of the Hochschule für Gestaltung, or Ulm School of Design (1953 to 1968) in the UK. The school pioneered an interdisciplinary and systematic approach to design education – known as the Ulm Model – that was to become universal.
