The exhibition "Toying with Design" explores how play can inspire designers and architects to create toy-like, functional everyday objects. It will be on view in conjunction with San Diego Design Week 2022 and plays on the theme of this year’s Design Week, Design=Inspiration/Inspiración, encouraging viewers to consider what influences their work and how their work motivates others, giving rise to new ideas.
This exhibition is co-curated by Patricia Cué, Creative Director at Mingei International Museum, and Susan Merritt, Professor Emerita of the School of Art and Design at San Diego State University.
