At mid-century MoMA played a leading role in the definition and dissemination of so-called Good Design, a concept that took shape in the 1930s and emerged with new relevance in the decades following World War II.

The exhibition by the Design Museum in Gent, Belgium, is showing designs by Arne Jacobsen, Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Aarnio, Tapio Wirkkala, Gio Ponti and Harry Bertoia.
