Lomak exhibited at prestigious MoMA exhibition

The Lomak keyboard has been selected for display in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York as part of MoMA’s “Design and the Elastic Mind” Exhibition. The exhibition, which runs from February 24–May 12, 2008, is about the latest advances in design in a modern and changing world. It will show designers’ ability to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and history that will demand or reflect major adjustments in human behaviour, and convert these changes into objects that people can actually understand and use. (Click here for more information on the exhibition.)

The award winning Lomak Keyboard design is one of only about 200 designs selected from all around the world and covering every area of science and technology.

Award winning New Zealand designer Peter Haythornthwaite of Creativelab, the designer of the Lomak keyboard, felt both thrilled and honoured:

“MoMA is at the forefront of investigating how design can humanize science and technology. Lomak is an example of how user-centered design can harness state-of-the-art technology to liberate people who are otherwise likely to be trapped by their physical disabilities. It is a great privilege, as the designers involved with Lomak, to be included in this important exhibition.”
