Multiple Choice: From Sample to Product
[Macromedia Flash Player] -
http://cooperhewitt.org/EXHIBITIONS/multiple_choice/site/?r=4-14-2008
Sample plates, cards of buttons, and textile and wallpaper
swatches – in digitized form - are featured for this exhibition
from the collections of the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design
Museum and Smithsonian Institution Libraries. The exhibition
traces the process that takes samples to final products in a
variety of contexts, ranging from home furnishings to
architectural ornament to textile design. Highlights of the
exhibition include an earthenware sample plate with
transfer-printed decorations, made in England in 1899,
associated with a finished plate made using the same technique.
There is also a video that allows visitors to turn the pages of
a sample book containing swatches of a woolen fabric known as
duvetyn, made in France in the late 18th and early 19th
centuries, and used for men's waistcoats, women's dresses, and
coats.
