The Design Museum in London has a whole line-up of upcoming shows and event that look great. The first, Design Cities, starts on September 5th, and runs for the rest of the year. If focuses on contemporary design happening in international cities at a key point in time, beginning and ending with London. It will showcase works from WIlliam Morris, Le Corbusier and Issey Miyake among others. I like this idea. I feel like it will be an elaborated version of the MoMA design room, somewhere I could happily spend several hours before leaving feeling utterly insignificant.

The second is a one-night stand entitled Design Overtime, taking place on the evening of September 19th.

The third is a complete retrospective of Alan Aldridge’s iconic illustrations, from Beatles lyrics to children’s books. Starts on October 10th and runs into January.
