On the occasion of its 70th anniversary, the Red Dot Design Museum looks back on its eventful history, which began in 1955 with the "Permanent Exhibition of Beautifully Shaped Industrial Products" in Essen. "70 Years of Design - Masterpieces Selected by Peter Zec" brings together products from seven decades that stand for pioneering design and creative quality.
The exhibition was curated by Professor Dr. Peter Zec, initiator and CEO of Red Dot and head of the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen, the institution behind the museum, for 34 years. His personal comments and professional classifications make the presentation a plea for quality and consistency in design.
The exhibition can be seen until February 1, 2026 at the Red Dot Design Museum on the grounds of the Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site in Essen.
