March 4 - May 17, 2009



selected objects from the exhibition

Award-winning international designer Karim Rashid showcases the most exciting examples of new radiator design in Totally Rad: Karim Rashid Does Radiators. Selected from over 300 designs, the exhibition features approximately 30 steam-heat designs in production today. All of the designers and manufacturers aim to re-examine this everyday object and offer a fresh design perspective. The radiators, while retaining their functionality as heaters, are beautifully crafted and intelligently designed, serving both visual and practical needs in the domestic interior. Groundbreaking designs include radiators by Antrax, Caleido, Deltacalor, Gruppo Ragaini, Hellos, Tubes Radiatori, and Runtal.

Totally Rad launches the Museum's new Design and Innovation Gallery, which will explore emerging trends in design through a series of short-term exhibitions guest-curated by leading voices in the field.

Totally RAD: Karim Rashid Does Radiators is made possible, in part, by the generosity of the Inner Circle, one of the Museum's leadership support groups.
