The design that we need to know, and which we can be proud of - so positioned curators a new exhibition in St. Petersburg. The name "Quality Mark" eloquently speaks about the content of the exhibition. Here is the history of the country's best examples of the achievements of Soviet design, sponsored by such masters as Tatlin, Malevich, Mukhina





Nostalgia for the past - the incurable nostalgia. Homesickness can be driven out, returning to the paternal house, But life - as the song goes - it is impossible to turn back time and never for a moment stopped. Although it is - stop time, at least for the space of 200 square meters, the exhibition organizers decided.



Personally, I liked the exhibition. Looking at the exhibits, I constantly found myself thinking that I remember these things in his childhood.



For example, I remember the same pedal car from a friend in the country, I was terribly jealous of him then.

And this work of Vera Mukhina. Her child - faceted glass - the most massive object of Soviet life. They have enough to celebrate the whole workforce. And this is also the explanation for the fact why the objects of everyday life, zamyslennye designers as something aesthetic, turned into its opposite. But there was also a shortage of raw materials and reduce the cost of the massive demand pattern at any cost, and the priority of quantity over quality.



"We want people to understand that, despite the very difficult working conditions, these people are not due, and often in spite of the system, create amazing things," - says the organizer of the exhibition Irina Zhuravleva.



A simple game of "Battleship", but even the silhouettes of the ships passed control of the military experts. They should not have to be like the Soviet. The industry created the whole design concept. Trolley buses were in harmony with the car, and cars with alarm.



That is why, for example, a vacuum cleaner can be like an artificial satellite, and the satellite to the vacuum cleaner.



In the 50 years of official Soviet documents did not have any designers. There were specialists in technical and aesthetic design. And when the word appeared in the late eighties, the original Soviet design itself drowned in the waves of imported consumer goods. And now you need to save at least the memory of it.



My grandmother in the country still lies portable Patifon like this, but even older.



A blue cleaner (only green) I personally threw a year ago, because grandmother stubbornly continued vacuuming them, not new, wet vacuum.
