Introduction. <\/i>The exhibition traces the trajectory of design in the neighbouring country, introducing along the way its design creators \u2013 starting with pioneers \u2013 furniture designer Anna von Maydell \u2013 up to celebrities of contemporary design and the leading design studios.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u2018Estonian design attracts increasingly more attention, and this exhibition aims to map out different strata of Estonian design, its characteristics and diversity by bringing into closer focus selected items which shaped the Estonian design stage,\u2019 says curator of the event, Kai Lobjakas. She also notes the existence of several differing concepts of design.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u2018Some see design as a specific technical detail, others as a valuable chair, still others as an innovation that transforms peoples\u2019 life,\u2019 says the curator, \u2019therefore, we are faced with the question whether it is a thing, or maybe, a service, whether it is visible or invisible, whether it is a product, a unique item, or maybe, a phenomenon.\u2019<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The impetus for the development of Estonian design came from the School of Arts and Crafts founded in 1914. The alumni of the school created new design traditions at industrial enterprises of independent Estonia. Plenty of initiatives born during interwar years were sustained during the years of soviet occupation. This period in design was dominated by furniture, lamps, glass and ceramic products. The Estonian design of the period knit together pre-war modernism, soviet ideology and aesthetics and the features of Western culture, their produce gaining a \u2018nearly-Western\u2019 status. The Baltic countries turned into a kind of \u2018the West\u2019 inside the Soviet Union, while the ideas of Western consumer society seeped into the Soviet Union via products, tokens of the comforts of everyday life.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Estonians have achieved solutions resulting in innovative design. Minox sub-miniature \u2018spy\u2019 camera, and communication platform Skype, created after the restoration of Estonian independence, are examples.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u2018After 1991,\u2019 describes the present situation Kai Lobjakas, \u2018quite a few designers have left to study and work abroad. New enterprises and new names in design emerged too. Today we have a strong core of innovating designers, while local producers and their products enjoy much attention. Despite some similarities to the early stages of the past century, present situation is different in many terms. Small business focused on conceptual creation and local market operate alongside business network competitive on the international market. Most visible are the companies experimenting with the established norms and creating new conceptual products.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The story of Estonian design is also told by the largest companies of Estonian industrial design: A. M. Luther Furniture Factory, J. Lorup\u2019s Glass Factory, E. Taska\u2019s Leathercrafting Studio, Tarbeklaas Glass Factory, Standard Furniture Factory, Estoplast, <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Kunst <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">and<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">Kodu<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">,<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Tallinn Construction Ceramics Factory<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> (Tallinna Ehituskeraamikatehas<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">)<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, Punane RET, Art Products Factory (Kunstitoodete Kombinaat) and their leading ceramic, glass, textile, leather and radiotechnology wares. Another thread to follow the story of Estonian design is through individual key figures of 20th-21st \u2013 centuries design.
