The Connected Objects project, currently being put together by the documentation centre at the Design Museu of Barcelona, will unite a wide variety of documentary, archive, bibliographic and audiovisual resources revolving around the life cycle of objects, to facilitate understanding and critical analysis in this area.
With a constantly growing archive, the project currently involves 30 designers, 44 companies and more than 80 objects. All of these pieces belong to the collections at the museum.
