“One day I’m designing a pair of socks, the next day I’m designing a campaign for the side of a bus,” William Allen tells Design Week. “You just never know what you’ll have.”
Allen is one quarter of the Barbican’s in-house design team, established in 2011 and in more normal times based in the Brutalist arts centre itself. Opened in 1982, the arts centre is a much-loved London destination, celebrated as much for its architecture as its creative programme. The centre hosts exhibitions and performances on all major art forms, including dance, film, music, theatre and visuals arts. Over a million people attend its events annually – though this year is likely an exception – and it also has three cinemas, a conservatory and a library.
