It’s hard not to be creatively invigorated in an ever-evolving world. And perhaps no New York museum exhibit encompasses that more than MoMa’s upcoming Counter Space: Design and the Modern Kitchen, which opens in September.

The exhibit will showcase a complete 1920′s “Frankfurt Kitchen,” among other design goodies, and promises to reveal more than just futuristic aesthetic appeal. MoMa notes:

“Kitchens have continued to articulate, and at times actively challenge, our relationship to the food we eat, popular attitudes toward the domestic role of women, family life, consumerism, and even political ideology…”

L magazine then collected five additional items with the same transforming qualities. Trust me, you ain’t never seen tea and coffee sets like this one.

Like with all design innovation (or any other kind for that matter), there’s always something new to discover and explore. Our designers let themselves be influenced by the past while creating for the future. There’s no such thing as inspiration overload here at Quirky!
