Challenging exhibition

Can design solve world problems? No, but the design can help show the Danish Design Center's main exhibition CHALLENGE SOCIETY.

According to DDC: “CHALLENGE SOCIETY, shows how design meets such challenges. This is not a question of inventing new accessories for the world, but of inventing new ways to design the world. We need to design systems and services to match the complex demands of the future public and private sectors, both individuals and companies.

Using film, texts and photos the exhibition showcases the many examples of how design strategies as the simple solution to complex challenges help give new life to our ailing welfare state, while also creating improved solutions for the users and adding economic value to the industry. Two specific cases from the exhibition show how Danish prisons and nursing homes have chosen to team up with designers in order to solve their main problems."

CPH Design's Service Design projects "Technology for self-reliance" and "Free Choice" are exhibited as an example of how, through use of user-driven innovation, the public sector can address future challenges in relation to how fewer pairs of hands will will be able to take care of more elderly people.
