📣 2026 announcement 📣 Next year is going to be a big one at the Design Museum – check out our full exhibition programme for 2026 👇 🌟 NIGO: From Japan with Love (1 May – 4 October 2026) The first museum retrospective and exhibition outside Japan charting the career of Japanese creative director @nigo, sponsored by @notahotel_official. Working across street style, fashion, music and more, NIGO has shaped some of the most influential designs and trends in recent fashion history. From founding A Bathing Ape (@bape_japan) in the ’90s to leading @kenzo today, his impact remains as wide-reaching and relevant as ever. 🌟 Es Devlin (18 September 2026 – 11 April 2027) The first UK museum show dedicated to @esdevlin’s work, revealing the story behind her extraordinary 30-year practice spanning kinetic stage sculptures to monumental art installations. Developed in close collaboration with the artist, this luminous exhibition will showcase rare maquettes, sketches and process materials alongside new large-scale projection-mapped sculptures and kinetic installations conceived especially for this retrospective. 🌟 The Nue Black Aesthetic (6 November 2026 – 8 August 2027) A landmark show celebrating contemporary Black designers shaping today’s design industry. Spanning furniture, architecture, fashion and installation, it explores how identity, culture and community inform their work and how they’re redefining design systems far beyond the Black community. Featuring @maccollins__, @design.by.samuelross, @biancasaunders and @gilestetteynartey, this thought-provoking exhibition guest-curated by @charleneprempeh invites visitors to rethink what Black design looks like and who gets to shape design culture.
