Haute Couture, by definition, is made-to-order, high-quality and hand-executed, and for centuries has signified the ultimate in luxury and exclusivity. Conversely, machines typify the antithesis of couture, implying mass-production and decreased standards. Currently, however, we are witnessing a fascinating phenomenon of mechanical luxury \u2013 designers are reinterpreting couture as a hybrid of both mechanized process and customized craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

The installations in the exhibition were divided to four groups: These divisions were designed to highlight the specific role played by the machine through a simplified equation.<\/p>\n

Designer + Machine = Product<\/strong> featured designers who directly incorporate a new machine or technology into their design processes in order to create new products.<\/p>\n

Concept = Machine = Product<\/strong> exemplified work that was both inspired by machinery and incorporate machinery in the finished product.<\/p>\n

Product = Machine<\/strong> presented products that become, as a result of the process, machines.<\/p>\n

Designer through Machine = Product<\/strong> highlighted products that were created as a result of a machine-mediated process, not completely removing the designer from the design process, but giving over a substantial piece of the design phase to the machine.<\/p>\n
