Remember 2016? Apple's AirPods, David Bowie’s Blackstar, Balenciaga’s Speed Trainers, Tate Modern’s new building and Instagram’s big rebrand. It was a big year for design.
It was also the year the Design Museum found its new home in Kensington. And now, ten years on, we're celebrating.
Join us on 21 and 22 November for a weekend packed with conversations, creative encounters, hands-on activities and unexpected discoveries. We'll be bringing together the people, ideas and innovations that shape our world, looking back at how far we've come and imagining what the next decade might hold.
Come and celebrate with us. Tap the link in bio to find out more.

Gaetano Pesce, born #OnThisDay in 1939, was a pioneering Italian architect, artist and industrial designer whose radical approach challenged the conventions of design.
Throughout his career, Pesce blurred the boundaries between art, design, and social commentary. Leaving a lasting impact on the design world, his work is heavily distinguished by an imaginative use of shape and colour, reflecting the designer’s strong sense of individuality.
Here are three of his most notable designs:
✨ La Mamma Chair - a landmark design in polyurethane foam, shaped as a voluptuous female figure and connected by a tether to a ball-and-chain ottoman. Pesce created it powerful statement on the social subjugation of women
✨ Tramonto a New York Sofa - an expressive piece that captures the energy and atmosphere of a New York sunset through its bold use of urethane foam and upholstery
✨ Feltri Armchair - a cocoon-like chair crafted from thick, high-strength industrial felt, with a thermosetting resin base that combines comfort with structural innovation

For Black History Month, join curator @hadeel_eltayeb and artist and designer @simonebrewster_london as they explore works featured in our PLATFORM display.
In this conversation, they discuss Negrita, a design by Simone Brewster inspired by 18th-century figurines in a museum’s collection, made by plantation owners to flaunt sugar, banana and coffee fortunes. These objects turned Black women’s bodies into exoticised, comical props, trapped in colonial fantasies.
Throughout her work, Simone is fascinated by where you see bodies and what type of bodies you see.
Discover more about her work in this free display at the Design Museum until January 2027. Find out more and plan your visit at designmuseum.org.

What is The Nue Black Aesthetic? ✨
Guest curator of The Nue Black Aesthetic @charleneprempeh explains the title of our upcoming exhibition, which references the cultural movements of the ‘Black Aesthetic’ of the 1960s and the ‘New Black Aesthetic’ of the 1980s.
The exhibition proposes a ‘Nue’ era – one defined by nuance, where there is no single way to be a Black designer.
Catch The #NueBlackAesthetic at the Design Museum from 6 November - tickets via the link in bio.

Es Devlin (@esdevlin) is an artist, stage designer, architect, and more. Now, decades of her visionary work is on view at her largest retrospective in Europe at the Design Museum (@designmuseum).
5,000 objects were pulled straight from her archives, taking you on a journey from her childhood sketches to her greatest hits like her infinite library and illuminated sculpture of endangered wildlife. Complete with a replica of her London studio, this exhibition is a chance to step into the mind of an artist. As Es describes it, the show is designed to feel accessible and to inspire all to embrace their inner creativity. What may start as simple sketches at home can evolve into a career of dreams, designing the biggest stages. She’s proof of it.
Want to learn more? Head to the Design Museum digital guide on Bloomberg Connects (@bloombergconnects), where Es poetically narrates and shares the inspiration behind key works and the objects from her archives.

A new year at the @designmuseum for @pinccollege...
Last year marked the first for the campus in this incredible space, giving neurodivergent young people the chance to study UAL creative diplomas in such an inspiring setting. And what a first year it was!
From putting on two exhibitions and taking part in a live brief with the museum, to behind-the-scenes tours, a visit from the Mayor, experiencing exhibitions first-hand and working with the museum team to curate their own work, there was so much for our students to get involved in.
This term, they’ve moved into a bigger space at the Design Museum, and we’re really looking forward to seeing what the year brings 🎨.
