The Crit #8: Robots For Public Delight
Stretch, a new warehouse robot designed by Boston Dynamics.
As goods and products begin to flow freely down the Suez Canal once more, so too has The Crit returned to offer a steady flow of all the latest design news.
In ‘Robots for public delight’, our hosts examine that Suez Crisis; the future of the 2021 Salone del Mobile; a name change at the Serpentine Galleries; the selection of Alan Turing to appear on the UK's £50 polymer banknote; the design legacy of Zeev Aram; MSCHF's satanic Nikes with Lil Nas X; a new robot from Boston Dynamics; Normann Copenhagen's work with recycled plastic; patio furniture from Moooi; a new lamp from Tala; and mimetic flooring from Tarkett.
