Project Manager: Heidemarie Caltik, MAK Curator, Design Info,  Pool; Project Assistant: Claudia MarchtrenkerThe MAK Design Info Pool (DIP) is an online collection and presentation platform for Austrian design of the 20th and 21st centuries which has been developed over the course of the museum’s applied research. The DIP brings together all aspects of Austrian design production—including artisan as well as industrially and artistically oriented output.The database is being systematically expanded by key works from those important phases of the 20th century (from the 1950s, ’60s, ’70s and ’80s) which have not yet seen much research by the MAK. Renowned works of design are being included based on historical sources and rounded out by a present-day curatorial selection.More than 1.200 designers, architects and artists participate as content providers with a selection of their recent projects.The objective of this multi-year research project is to apply systematic, long-term effort to compiling for the museum a representative collection of Austrian design, thus rendering the DIP significantly more valuable as an archive.Project supervisor: Heidemarie Caltik, MAK Curator, Design Info PoolProject Assistant: Claudia Marchtrenker
