Barbican Centre, Our Time On Earth, 2022
Design development, production, and installation of exhibition furniture and curtain displays for an environmental exhibition. The exhibition features sustainable materials and the White Wall conducted an extensive prototyping and design stage in order to allow for experiments with hemp laminate, Honext sheet, pine tree skin, cork panels, and corrugated hemp board.
The design development and prototyping stage was 3 months of working alongside the architects, curators, and A/V team to achieve a design that met the aesthetic brief, practical demands, budget constraints, and also the environmental standards inherent to the project content. Off-site fabrication was a further 3 months of production in the White Wall workshop. The installation schedule was choreographed over a 4-week period alongside the in-house A/V team.
