Design Museum London issues open call for Designers in Residence 2016

The Design Museum has issued a call for entries for 2016’s Designers In Residence 2016 programme, which is now in its ninth year. The programme celebrates new and emerging design talent and this year the theme is Open. Each year four designers are selected from the open call to take part. Alumni include Giles Miller, Asif Khan, Bethan Laura Wood, Yuri Suzuki and Sarah van Gameran. Last year’s residents – Chris Green, Stephanie Hornig, Hefin Jones and Alexa Pollmann – currently have their work on show at the museum.

The Designers in Residence curator, Margaret Cubbage said: “This year the Design Museum opens the doors to its new home in Kensington. The Designers in Residence of 2016 will join the museum on this journey. Through a focussed and rigorous proposal, the museum asks for designers to submit creative responses to this year’s theme ‘open’.”

The programme is looking for designers who have graduated from higher education within the last five years (in the academic year 2011/12 or more recently) and who have been working professionally (either paid or voluntarily) in some form of design or architecture practice for a minimum of one year.
