No other conscious creature can think about the future in the ways that humans can. That gives us an extraordinary gift: the ability to imagine. Tonight, we are excited to be with our @aigany friends at the @madmuseum to talk about why the future only belongs to the imaginative.

Jim Henson said “yes" to life. Yes to aliveness of all kinds–love, magic, whimsy, mischief. So when The Museum of Moving Image in New York City and the Jim Henson family asked us to partner with them to create a permanent exhibition to immortalize this timeless work, it was an instant “yes."
⠀
For over three years, our team collaborated on all aspects of the exhibition including the design of the gallery environment, the design system, storytelling for the layout of the show, interactive technologies and installations in the gallery, and external marketing and communications.
⠀
With original artifacts ranging from puppets, film clips, projections, drawings, set models, costumes, robotics, and more–we organized the story of Henson’s career into six key chapters, in collaboration with the Senior Curator of Collections and Exhibitions, Barbara Miller. Our team designed faceted architecture and a spatial system referencing the geometries of the museum—hinting at the boundless energy of Henson’s team itself. Much like how Kermit the Frog tries to hold The Muppet Show together before things fly off the rails, our system marries chaos with control; constant motion with a ringmaster’s sense of showmanship.

"I really do believe that all of you are at the beginning of a wonderful journey. As you start traveling down that road of life, remember this: There are never enough comfort stops. The places you're going to are never on the map. And once you get that map out, you won't be able to re-fold it no matter how smart you are. So forget the map, roll down the windows, and whenever you can pull over and have picnic with a pig. And if you can help it never fly as cargo.” — Jim Henson
"As children, we all live in a world of imagination, of fantasy, and for some of us that world of make-believe continues into adulthood.” — Jim Henson

The futures that our friends at @Mailchimp, @Dropbox, and @ogilvy have grown into has kept us in awe—especially when design has been at the center of reimagining their new futures. We’re so honored to have worked with these great teams.
Cheers to our friends and the other honorees for winning the inaugural Type Champions Award by @bymonotype, which recognizes and celebrates brands from around the world that are committed to excellence in design and typography.
