Ladislav Sutnar (1897 - 1976) was a true pioneer of the modern, but his work as a designer and graphic artist is little known to day. With his book designs, posters, exhibition designs, toys and even glass and porcelain dishes, Sutnar's work is a broad and substantial design legacy that, with its expressiveness and variety, will always find new "discoverers". Sutnar, who emigrated to the USA in 1939, focused on the objects of everyday life and on what is now called information design. He sought to renew and refresh both of them and in so doing, established bench marks of design quality that are still largely valid. And he succeeded in transferring a qualitatively high design language to the wider pub-lic. The Museum of Design Zurich is the first venue on an extensive European tour for this comprehensive retrospective, assembled by the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague.

It is said of him that he designed everything: from lip-gloss to locomotives. But in Japan Raymond Loewy is best known for the cigarette packet 'Peace', launched onto the market in 1952. Eighteen years after his death, the Tobacco & Salt Museum in Shibuya pays homage to his design genius and ideal of simplicity ("The main goal is not to complicate the already difficult life of the consumer" he often said), illustrating the long career of the father of industrial design.
The Pioneer of Modern Design from 3/13/04 through 5/16/04. Well known in Japan as the designer for Peace Cigarettes, Fujiya candy and Studebaker automobiles, Loewy enormously influenced and contributed to the development of post-war Japan's industrial design movement.
Eighteen years after his death, many of his works still retain their attraction for contemporary consumers and are cherished by them. The exhibition introduces Loewy's work to a new generation of Japanese consumers, the classic designs that continue to influence many modern Japanese designers today.

Designmai 2004
Brauereigelände Pfefferberg, Schönhauser Allee 176, Berlin
T +49-30-27572498
The second edition of the Berlin design week takes on a demanding theme this year: explaining how the architectural landscape in Eastern European countries changes with their official entry into the European Union.
Who would have expected such a great and positive response to our first ever DESIGNMAI in 2003? And who would have expected a repeat event only the following year? Between 6th - 16th of May 2004 Berlin will again attract design aficionados from all over the world with a huge variety of design events. This year, there will be more than 130 exhibitions, discussions, talks and other events - organised by the individual participants and DESIGNMAI's founding organisation Transform-Berlin e.V.
The sum of all DESIGNMAI events provides a vibrant overview of contemporary design: from international trends to the microcosm of Berlin's current design scene. In this, the festival's inimitable profile rests on precisely these small contributions which highlight the cultural aspect of design, consistently refuting the cliché of superficiality and always testing and redefining the boundaries of what design stands for. By offering a glimpse behind the scenes of creative Berlin, DE

Promoted by Dyson and supported by the ADI, the "Dyson Design Award" invites young designers and design students to tackle the theme of "innovation in everyday objects and services for leisure time. The designs should be for products that can be industrialised relating to living (including those for the bathroom, kitchen, basement or garden) and individual transport." A € 4,000 prize is reserved for the professional category, and a week-long trip to the UK is offered to the students. The winners will also be put forward for the "Global Dyson Design Award," an international competition bringing together winners of all the local editions. L.B.
