# Overlooked Object Exhibits No Name Design Features 1,000 Items that are Often Ignored By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-07-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-name-design References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/no-name-design-exhibition-1000-objects-triennale-design-museum-07-11-2014/) & [triennale.org](http://www.triennale.org/it/triennale-design-museum) No Name Design at the Triennale Design Museum examines certain items that would otherwise be overlooked. These pieces play a larger role in the world today than many people think, which is what the curators are aiming to show with the exhibit. Items in the exhibit include things such as a beach ball or a cup of Coca Cola. Again, these pieces are such a staple in pop culture and everyday life that people don't realize the effect they have. The beach ball signifies the playfulness of individuals, and Coke is a huge movement that has resulted in everything from campaign sponsorships to obesity. No Name Design tries to encourage people to be more conscious about these surroundings.
