While visiting The Future is Here exhibition, I didn't quite know what to expect other than futuristic objects which may soon be on the market and which we may start using very soon, although I wasn't wrong about the idea of futuristic objects, I was intrigued by how many of these objects already existed as well as how they were made.
Many of these "futuristic objects" were actually invented in the past such as the Jacquard loom (1801), the first engine powered farm tractors (1868), the telephone (1876) and the first computer (1964).
However, the term "futuristic objects" could also have a different meaning other than something that is still to come, as it can also mean recreating something that already exists which is a very green way of looking at things. This idea is shown through the work of Andreas Bhend and Samuel Bernier (posted above) as they recreated IKEA's Frosta stool into a bike and a hanger.
Overall, I thought that the Future is Here exhibition was very interesting as different designers explored ways of how to reinvent different items for use and travel such as the Barclays bike and the bulb. It was also interesting to see how the world of technology has changed around the world as now during 21st century people and manufacturers use machines to manufacture the products.
