Beazley Designs of the Year 2019

Pernilla Ohrstedt Studio designed the 2019 ‘Beazley Designs of the Year’ exhibition at the Design Museum. An annual exhibition that presents the most inspiring and critical design from the past year.

Inspired by Gordon Matta Clarke’s principle ‘making space without building it’ our design reused the walls created for the previous exhibition David Adjaye : Making Memory. A series of cuts were made into the existing walls to create sight-lines between the different exhibition sections and make connections between the topics on display. The material that was removed was reused to make bespoke plinths, displays and signage.

The exhibition completely reimagined how the Archtiecture projects were presented. Commissioning a series of moving photographs from each building that allowed the visitor to experience the projects in their actual setting.

The 2d design by Zak Group used the exhibition as a platform to present the work of six type designers whose typefaces were released in 2019. Creating an miniature exhibition within the exhibition – title panels in each of the exhibition’s six rooms were set in a different typeface alongside a full character set and the names of its designer and foundry.

The design was a collaboration between Pernilla Ohrstedt Studio, Graphic design studio Zak Group and the exhibition curator Beatrice Galilee.

More images will be posted after the exhibition closes.
