The exhibition’s title reaches back into history through its references to the Black Aesthetic of the 1960s and the New Black Aesthetic of the 1980s. ‘Black design and the Black designers, not just in the show but globally, deserve to be seen and presented and understood fully.’ ‘If they leave with a curiosity about Black design then I’ve more than achieved my goal and I’d be very happy.’ ‘The Nue Black Aesthetic’ is at the Design Museum, London, from 6 November 2026 to 8 August 2027
