Paola Antonelli

The Italian icon of mid-century transport is back in the States, zipping around in irresistible candy colors. Paola Antonelli, design curator at the Museum of Modern Art, has her own soft spot for the scooter. Produced by Angela Frucci.

The Museum of Modern Art has a new exhibition that showcases how people interact with the objects in their everyday world, and the emotions they provoke.

From video games to the iconic ‘@” symbol to the original Arduino board, MoMA’s design curator Paolo Antonelli sees beauty, form and function — all the elements of art and design.

The @ sign, the only preposition on the keyboard, dates back to the middle ages, but has found new life in the internet age.
