Brand.New is an exhibition that takes a fresh, new approach to the diversity of international contemporary design, reflecting the rise of global consumerism. It critically examines how familiar brands are constructed by companies and how their values are communicated. It also explores how consumers ascribe personal values to the things they buy and use, to create individual identities and lifestyles.
