Description

For the last two years, MetaDesign has created exhibit panels illustrating the competencies of both Lunar Design and Product Genesis companies. Bi-coastal sister companies Lunar Design and Product Genesis wanted to promote their respective industrial design and product engineering skills, showcasing both high-tech design and low-tech process, with highly individual but clearly related panels.

Our design investigates the different ways to express the polarity that the two companies represent, and the value that these contrasting approaches bring when placed together. The panels were created for the Annual Industrial Designers Society of America exhibition.
