title - The DX Permanent Collection of Canadian Design
The Design Exchange is the only institution with the mandate to preserve Canadian design heritage from 1945 to the present. Although many artifacts of Canadian design have been neglected or destroyed, there is nonetheless a tremendous opportunity to reclaim our design history and to recognize landmark achievements as they happen. In 1991, the Design Exchange began informally collecting with Frank Davies’ donation of the Project G2 stereo. Since then, the collection has grown to almost 300 artifacts including historical and contemporary examples of decorative arts, furniture, graphic design, housewares, lighting, medical equipment, sporting goods and tableware.
