Pre-order this title now for delivery when our major exhibition opens in November 2026. This is the official accompanying catalogue which will feature interviews, essays and images . The Nue Black Aesthetic is a landmark show celebrating the work of contemporary Black designers whose work shape the contemporary design industry. Spanning furniture, architecture, fashion and installation, the exhibition will unpack the multifaceted practices of designers who draw directly from identity and culture, build community and those who are redefining design systems far beyond the Black community. Including works by Mac Collins, Samuel Ross, Bianca Saunders and Giles Tettey Nartey, this thought-provoking show will invite visitors to consider how the Black experience today is central to a designer’s practice and to rethink assumptions about what Black design looks like and who gets to shape design culture.
