1980s: From Readymades to Industrial Production

Barbican

Ron Arad, Katharine Hamnett, Rolf Fehlbaum and Deyan Sudjic discuss design in the 1980s

Ron Arad and Katharine Hamnett discuss how they made their names in the fast-changing London design scene of the 1980s and are joined by Rolf Fehlbaum visionary talent spotter and chairman of furniture manufacturer Vitra. Deyan Sudjic, director of the Design Museum, asks the probing questions and discovers how the shift from do-it-yourself to mass-produced actually happened.

Design by Decade

Celebrate the evolution of the architecture, art and design communities in London since the 1970s. Join us on four evenings – each dedicated to one of the decades Ron Arad has lived and worked in London – for a panel discussion followed by a chance to meet the speakers over drinks. In the gallery, sample the flavour of each decade by taking part in specially curated retro fun as DJs selected by Rough Trade drop beats from the era. In association with our media partner Wallpaper*.
