			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3400" title="Herman Miller's Aeron chair is part of the Serpentine Gallery's Design Real exhibit." src="http://www.hermanmiller.com/discover/wp-content/uploads/designreal.jpg" alt="designreal" width="480" height="200" /><br />
On exhibit at London’s <a href="http://www.serpentinegallery.org/2008/06/design_real26_november7_februa.html" target="_blank">Serpentine Gallery</a> through February 7, <a href="http://www.design-real.com/" target="_blank">Design Real</a> highlights objects that have made a significant impact on our lives, providing new perspectives from which to look at the material world.</p>
<p>Curated by German product designer Konstantin Grcic of <a href="http://www.konstantin-grcic.com/" target="_blank">Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design</a> (KGID), Design Real focuses on “real” items conceived in the last decade: mass-produced products that have a practical function in everyday life—from furniture and household products to technical and industrial innovations. For example, click on “Office Chair” and you’ll see Herman Miller’s <a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/Products/Aeron-Chairs" target="_self">Aeron</a> chair.</p>
<p>According to Grcic, what interests him about industrial design is “how these things are made, in what material, and how this has affected their language and their quality. Some objects are very technically-driven; the function really determines the object. Other objects have much more of a signature or an authorship; you see the handwriting of the designer who made it and that’s what makes it so special.”</p>
