BTLifestyle: Get lost in the world’s best design museums without leaving home
For example, there is an IG post on Aalvar Aalto’s Paimio Sanatorium in Finland, built to house tuberculosis patients in the 1930s and designed to make sure patients always had a view of nature. The post reminds us that even back then, when diseases were widespread, much thought was put into the wellbeing of users when designing a building.The pride of the museum is its collection of about 7,000 pieces of furniture, lights and home accessories.
Its Learn with the Design Museum programme encourages people to pick up a new skill, whether it’s learning how to sketch or to take better photos. Leading UK designer Paul Priestman also pitches in with a workshop on making a mobile phone holder from an egg box, a life hack for anyone who has to do video conference calls at home. Kids’ activities are also included.
Download its Temporary Bauhaus App for an audio guide to view its collection. The clips explain how the Bauhaus school started, but what’s more interesting are the sections on iconic furniture pieces such as the Lattice Chair and the Tubular Steel Armchair by Marcel Breuer. For each item, a narrator goes into detail about its history and significance.
