The '''Good Design''' movement was an [artistic movement](/source/artistic_movement) or design concept that originated in the 1930s, but took form principally in the United States immediately after the [Second World War](/source/Second_World_War). Designs made under the influence of Good Design include buildings and furniture, but also everyday objects such as kitchen implements, household objects and garden tools. Names associated with the movement include [Charles and Ray Eames](/source/Charles_and_Ray_Eames), [László Moholy-Nagy](/source/L%C3%A1szl%C3%B3_Moholy-Nagy) and [Hans Wegner](/source/Hans_Wegner),

[The Museum of Modern Art](/source/The_Museum_of_Modern_Art) of [New York](/source/New_York_City) was an influential force on the movement. A major exhibition, ''Good Design'', was held there from 23 September to 30 November 1952.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/1716?locale=en|title=Good Design|website=The Museum of Modern Art|language=en|access-date=20 March 2020}}</ref> The retrospective exhibition ''What Was Good Design?
