- Summary
- Within a mere eight decades, since the first regular airline flights in 1919, flying has gone from being an adventurous, exclusive pleasure of a select few to an almost everyday mass phenomenon of transportation. During this time, civilian air travel has not only created its own technical standards; it has also produced its own aesthetic: cabin interiors, airport architecture, airline corporate design, flight attendant uniforms, even on-board plates and cutlery. This Vitra Design Museum exhibition is dedicated to the 'airworld' encountered by passengers during flight from the perspective of the history of design and architecture.
