Ongoing initiative: Product Timecapsule

A time capsule is an historic cache of goods and/or information, usually intended as a method of communication with future generations. Product Timecapsule, a Vignelli Center for Design Studies Archives joint initiative with Industrial Design, collects significant artifacts which, in conjunction with the final products they represent, create a multifaceted understanding of the design process. Each acquisition tells a rich story of its place in the history of design.

The collection was initiated and is stewarded by Josh Owen and students in the Industrial Design department.
