Paola Antonelli, Curator

Available for over a year

As design curator for the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Paola knows a thing or two about good design and she thinks more of us should pay attention to it and to designers themselves, who she says can bring fresh ideas to everything from health policy to biochemistry. But did she convince Owen?
