In the future, how will we prioritize and design our communities? How do we create healthy and nourishing relationships? Will our behaviour become more socially oriented, or will we be further apart and become isolated? Which human values will be more important? What will the future look like, and what will design look like in the future?

Designers around the world are working on solving some of our global challenges. Thinking radically and creatively, allowing themselves to be guided by both reason and emotion. They search extensively for inspiration, ask different questions, and envision themselves in the communities, whose lives they want to improve.

This exhibition has three main themes: Human, Society and Planet+. The themes present different questions, future scenarios, design examples and art installations – some suggest solutions while others are more speculative. A last theme, ”Shaping the Future,” will finalize the exhibition and show examples from the museum’s own collection of utopian dreams and past visionary designs that have influenced and shaped our world.
