By shedding light on the extensive development process, the exhibition offers a rare glimpse into the evolution of a product—revealing the ideas, challenges, and creativity that shape its journey.

Designers are invited to consider the role of tactile experiences, traditional techniques, and innovation in forging deeper connections between makers, users, and the spaces we inhabit. Through this exploration, the exhibition celebrates the tangible bonds that bring design to life.
