Composition Cutlery and the Swatch
Description
Section one of this program examines the prodigious volume of products created by Tapio Wirkkala, including the 1963 cutlery set called Composition-a testimonial to the artist's love of nature, knowledge of ergonomics, and refined sense of taste. In section two, the sensational Swatch-a pop culture phenomenon-is featured, showing how its styling has helped the Swiss watch industry fight Japanese competition while keeping pace with the times.
