Happy Hanukkah from all of us at Designhouse!

We are delighted to share the ‘Universal Everything- Lifeforms’ exhibition.

This exhibition brings together 14 projects within a series of habitats designed by Ab Rogers Architects. Featuring unpredictable, generative pieces and installations that mirror and shift with both time and audience interactions. The lifeforms are made with generative software meaning that the art is always transforming.

We are delighted to share the EY exhibition.

This exhibition features many Cezanne works displayed for the first time in the UK, showcasing the artist’s struggle between seeking official recognition and pursuing his own unique art style.

For a look into the works that paved the way for modernism and abstraction, head on over to Tate Modern this weekend.

This exhibition brings together two series of landscape paintings, both Hong Kong landscapes from Wong’s real life experiences and landscapes of British countrysides which he drew from Google Earth during the pandemic, when travel was restricted. Wong inserts his trademark toy car into each UK landscape paintings to recall the idea of a virtual road trip. The exhibition aims to meditate our innate desire to travel in not only the real world, but also the imagined.

Head over to Unit London to check it out!

We’re always on the lookout for training and development opportunities for our team. Design Business Association offers many courses and workshops specially created for branding and creative agencies like us.

Last month, our Senior Account Manager, Lucy Whyte attended a course about Resilience and how to improve and build your resilience in the workplace. She has described her experience, and how the course will help her as she progresses in her career.

“The DBA resilience course struck a great balance between offering insights into the resilience landscape and providing practical preparation techniques to manage resilience in both your professional and personal life. I look forward to acting on the advice and sharing the insights with my colleagues.”

As a founding member and winner of nine DBA effectiveness awards, we would highly recommend any branding and design agencies to take a look at joining the association here.

We are very proud to support Westminster City Council in their new Night Safety initiative Night Stars.

Night Stars are a network of volunteers who provide a wide range of practical and emotional support to people out in Westminster at night. From helping people find a safe way home to a cup of coffee to assisting people in reporting crime. It’s been incredibly rewarding to work with them on bringing this brand to life, from name through to helping get volunteers on board.

But don’t take our word for it! Desirée Weston, Strategic Communications Manager at Westminster City Council has shared her experience of working together, “We are proud and excited to launch the Night Stars initiative to bring extra safety and support to the streets of Westminster at night-time.  Designhouse have done a wonderful job of bringing the purpose and intention of the initiative to life through the brand design, while making it memorable and distinctive.”

We were delighted to welcome Will Mackenzie for a day in the studio last week.

Will is spending his year in industry as a Marketing Campaign Executive at our client, British Gas Business.

He spent the day shadowing Sam Hancock who shared some insights into the world of design.

“It was great coming to see the whole team at Designhouse.

As someone at the start of their career, getting an overview of the creative processes and design workflow they employ has been really insightful and inspiring for my future.”

Thank you for paying us a visit Will.
