Hidden Heroes is described by its curator as “a celebration of everyday objects and the stories they have to tell about our lives.” From paperclips to bubblewrap, condoms to post-it notes, the exhibition looks at some of the unsung heroes of the design world, fighting overexposure and under-appreciation. It’s an excellent collection and what’s striking is how little the original concepts of these classics has altered over decades – there’s tweaks in materials etc but on the whole great design endures. This well-shoot video provides a great introduction, but if you’re here you should definitely check it out in person.
