"HISTORY OF RUSSIAN DESIGN" ON TV

"History of Russian Design" is the first film project in Russia, covering the 100-year history of the development of Russian design. Four series of the film – “Avant-garde”, “VNIITE”, “Design in the USSR” and “Contemporary Design” - explore the processes that were taking place in the professional field during the periods of constructivism (1917 - 1935), developed socialism (1950 - 1980) and modernity (1990 - 2017) and their results that affected the world of objects both in Russia and abroad.

The project involved many year of research conducted by the Moscow Design Museum. The film uses unique archive photo and video materials, shooting of exhibition projects, models, prototypes and drawings from the museum's collection.
