Building the Welcome Hub for the Turner Prize 2025: From Concept to Installation.
As part of
@bradford_2025 UK City of Culture, we developed the primary visitor experience hub for Cartwright Hall - the first stop for around 500 visitors a day during the Turner Prize.
We led design, visualisation, production and installation, creating a modular and sustainable furniture system that compliments the heritage setting, with elements that will remain in place beyond the exhibition.
The welcome hub became a place to explore the Turner Prize brand more playfully. Working with our friends
@rabbithole , we designed a space that invited visitors to discover the four nominated artists.
The space acts as both a bold welcome gesture and an area for the events programmed throughout the season.
All the furniture was designed and made by our team, combining 3D printing with traditional manufacturing processes. The main structure, featuring the bright neon pop, was created using 100% recyclable cardboard. The design was developed in collaboration with
@dukemakes @rabbithole and produced by
@imageco .
The whole space was a blend of innovation, craft, and practicality, supporting the City of Culture’s wider commitment to accessibility and reuse.
We wanted the welcome to feel special yet subtle, creating atmosphere and anticipation without taking the spotlight away from the artists.
Huge Thank you to
@kerry_campbelltmt who was the Lead Producer on the project - she kept all the parts moving and aligned 👌
