Organised by the Design Museum
Join designer Sam Jacob and Assistant Curator Tiya Dahyabhai to unpack the design and build process and share behind-the-scenes stories of making Barbie®: The Exhibition.
What to expect
This occasional series of events offers a glimpse into how the Design Museum exhibitions come together: designers, makers and curators discuss how curatorial narratives are translated into spatial arrangements and immersive experiences.
Designer Sam Jacob meets Assistant Curator Tiya Dahyabhai to reflect on the making of Barbie®: The Exhibition – from the brief writing to the research processes, intentions, iterations, innovations and more.
Established in 2014, Sam Jacob Studio quickly gained a reputation as a progressive architecture and design practice, creating idiosyncratic and striking projects underwritten with intelligent thinking. In Barbie: The Exhibition, they have brought their signature wit to the playful display, deploying colour, scale, lighting and material to joyous effect.
