From packing peanuts to bottle caps, manhole covers and the 50p coin, the exhibition aims to show these products and systems are far from being randomly conceived, and have been expertly designed for economy and practicality. The bulge on a pint glass, for example, lets air pass between stacked glasses so they don’t get stuck together. Packing peanuts interlock when squeezed together, protecting the object they surround.
