Jawbone UP
Yves Béhar, Fuseproject, 2011
Jawbone
UP was one of the early wristband fitness trackers, and the first to claim to measure sleep patterns. It helped normalise a culture in which we count our steps and turn the body's movement into data. This particularly Californian tendancy to make the body more productive - both in terms of energy spent and data generated - has been called 'the quantified self'.

Part of California: Designing Freedom (May to October 2017)
“Designed in California” is the new “Made in Italy”. While California’s mid-century modernism is well documented, this is the first exhibition to examine its current global reach. Picking up the story in the 1960s, the exhibition charts the journey from the counterculture to Silicon Valley’s tech culture.

The building, formerly the Commonwealth Institute, was built 1960-2, designed by Robert Matthew, Johnson-Marshall and Partners. Closing in 2002, it was acquired by the Design Museum in 2008, and converted by a design team led by John Pawson.
