About the Exhibition

Sounds of Design is a sound exhibition that highlights the processes of creation across a number of design fields. An immersive space with a carefully designed speaker system takes visitors on a journey through the sounds of materials, machines, human interactions, and other components that go into the creation of a design product, whether an item of furniture, piece of clothing, or an aesthetically pleasing dish. By experiencing familiar creative fields through the medium of sound, visitors acknowledge the intricacies that go into the process of design. Opening 10 October 7 pm - 9 pm.
