A Decade in Residence

Past Designers in Residence reflect on their experience of the Design Museum’s residency programme and discuss the current climate for emerging designers at Tent London.

What can I expect?

The Design Museum’s annual Designers in Residence celebrates designers at an early stage in their career. 2016 marks the start of an exciting new chapter for the programme with a designated studio in the museum’s new Kensington home. In connection to the Designer in Residence Alumni Showcase at Tent London celebrating the past nine years of the residency and its alumni, Designers in Residence curator Margaret Cubbage discusses the current climate and future for emerging designers with past residents and asks them to reflect on their experience as residents and the effect it had on their practice and career.

A timeline at Tent London will showcase the Designers in Residence alumni and their residency work.
