Abstract

The article focuses on the design show currently held at the main floor of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The show is an attempt to display new industrial exquisiteness in packaging, and to make an aesthetic claim for it. After the fond backward look at craft and nature, the show moves on to some contemporary containers. The show treats both disposable and re-usable packages, including a very fine pet-carrier for a small traveling animal, made of folded cardboard, and a transparent suit made of vinylfilm for a working man who needs two skins.
