"The Silent Revolutions" comprises a selection of design that marks the first two decades of this young European country.

The exhibition’s title "Silent Revolutions" portrays Slovenia as a country with exceptional design history, which has not (yet) established itself as an important design location in the wider European context. This “silence” was one of the reasons why we conceived this exhibition with a broad range of recent products in dialogue with five historical, iconic objects. Another aspect of the “revolution” from the title draws attention to the fact that several exhibits set new global standards with break-through innovations.

The exhibition does not focus only on the excellence of individual products, but also on their position in the broader context of contemporary Slovene design. This context changed considerably with the declaration of Slovenia’s independence in 1991 and with the sudden leap to a new free-market economy that followed. Therefore the exhibition does not only present products and designers, but also clients, producers and companies that paid an important, crucial role in the implementation of projects.

It illuminates innovative approaches, new development trends, unusual visions, a new design mentality and good strategic navigation in the present, constantly changing economic conditions. The selection encompasses products of large industries with their own trademarks and objects that in small series are manufactured by designers themselves.
