London never stops: five months after the opening\u00a0of the new wing of the Tate Modern, the Design Museum is ready to open its doors in its new home<\/strong>, the former Commonwealth Institute, in Kensington<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The museum moves from\u00a0its previous premise in Shad Thames, a former banana ripening warehouse, and triples its size<\/strong>. The new museum is located on Kensington High Street.\"1i7a9662-luke-hayes-med-res\" \"ggardner-1148\"<\/p>\n

The modernist building from the 1960s has been completely restored by OMA, Allies and Morrison and Arup and the interior by John Pawson: the big\u00a0central atrium<\/strong> will be the heart of the museum space, gallery and\u00a0events space are arranged like an opencast mine around it,\u00a0overlooking the scenic ceiling structure<\/strong>.\"ggardner-1177\"<\/p>\n

After 5 years of work<\/strong> and\u00a0an investment of \u00a383 million<\/strong>\u00a0the new Design Museum will open its doors on Thursday, November 24, and it will be the largest and most important design museum\u00a0in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

10,000sqm\u00a0<\/strong>dedicated to exhibition and event spaces, permanent collection, archive, library, auditorium, caf\u00e8, restaurant, a shop\u00a0with a world-class selection of international magazines, exclusive designer collaborations and specialist art and design books in collaboration with Phaidon.<\/p>\n

The Design Museum was founded by Sir Terence Conran<\/strong> (yes, that<\/em> Terence Conran of the Conran Shop<\/a>!) in 1989<\/strong>, which now states:<\/p>\n

“It really does feel like our moment has arrived and that the importance of design to our lives is now truly appreciated. I hope we can now educate, inspire and delight future generations for years to come and truly make a difference to the world around us.\u2019”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Expected to attract 650,000 visitors in its first year<\/strong>, the Design Museum combines architecture, product design, technology, graphics and fashion to investigate the form, function and meaning of the world around us.
