Festivities for the Design Museum\u2019s 30th birthday have kicked off with the unveiling of a set of commemorative graphics drawn up by dozens of designers in honour of the London institution.\nSalutations from the museum\u2019s founder Sir Terence Conran, its interior designer John Pawson and the fashion designer Paul Smith...

are among almost 40 contributions to the series, which began on social media. ‘It started off as a small fun project for social media. It has since snowballed. We realised that designers were enjoying the prospect of a such a simple, perhaps even frivolous, brief,’ says Josephine Chanter, the museum’s director of audiences.Conran’s own offering to the project he considers the pinnacle of his career is an animated ‘30’ built from candy-hued triangles, circles and blocks.

The Design Museum opened in July 1989 inside a former banana-ripening warehouse in Shad Thames, where it remained for 25 years before relocating to Kensington in 2016. It was a homecoming in a sense, as it was here in the’s Boilerhouse Project in the early 1980s where Conran first experimented with the idea for the museum, spotlighting the Memphis Group at one of these early exhibitions.
