Industrial tools and wall-mounted telephones hang on display in the new ‘Designpanoptikum, Museum For Extraordinary Objects’ on November 4, 2010 in Berlin, Germany. The museum, which is the creation of Russian-born artist Vlad Korneev, displays objects whose outward appearance was determined by function rather than form, Korneev says, and are the result of a collection he started while accumulating props for his photographic works.
