i managed to get out to the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum over the weekend. One of the highlights of my trip was definitely the ‘Design for the other 90%’ exhibition.

“This exhibition highlights the growing trend among designers to create affordable and socially responsible objects for the vast majority of the world’s population (90 percent) not traditionally serviced by professional designers…..(it) highlights objects developed to empower global populations surviving under the poverty level or recovering from a natural disaster.”

I even got a glimpse of the infamous $100 laptop (but unfortunately no pictures allowed). You can read/hear more about it here.
