The interiors ware responsibility of John Pawson, that choose a minimal oak- and marble-lined atrium to the Design Museum’s galleries. The Museum will open next thursday, 24th of November! “I think its marvellous to have been able to save the building, and have it now as what’s going to be a world-class centre for design,” said Pawson. “Having decided that we wanted to keep that extraordinary atrium, [the aim] was for it to make a building that was really wonderful for people as well as objects.”

“All the floor structure of the building is new, so there was an extraordinary temporary structure holding up this roof while the old structure was knocked out to create the new building,” added Chris Masson of Pawson’s studio. “It was quite a feat of engineering.”
