What Is the Definition of Contemporary Design? | Hunker
www.hunker.com › 13411166The Museum of Modern Art defines contemporary design — contemporary being an adjective, not a style — as well-made, beautiful, efficient, innovative and reflective of its time. This time is preoccupied with environmental concerns, global awareness, economy, durability, experimentation, technology and simplicity. Because contemporary is "of the moment," its designs are fluid, ever-changing, eclectic, low-key and open.
