Design can be found in everything we touch, see and hear.
In the summer of 2023, Sir John Soane’s Museum and Luke Irwin presented a fourth season of By Design, a public talk series in which leading designers discuss their practice, through the lens of a single object.
Co-hosted by Will Gompertz, Director of Sir John Soane's Museum and Alice Rawsthorn, award-winning design critic and author, we reflected on the power of objects – large or small, mundane or exceptional, aesthetic or utilitarian – to spark new ideas and act as a spur for different forms of creativity.
