Overview
- The exhibition is on view at the Design Museum in Kensington and runs through 4 April 2027.
- A reconstructed London studio leads into a curved 30-year desk that displays about 5,000 archive objects, 30 revolving models, hundreds of sketches and maquettes.
- The show includes major works such as Come Home Again and an Infinite Library, a kinetic, colour-coded sculpture containing roughly 2,000 books that informed Devlin’s work.
- Visitors move through the show in staged groups with a waiting room, a video introduction voiced by Devlin and theatrical transitions that translate her stage practice into museum interpretation.
- Early reviews describe the retrospective as both a spectacular display and a practical teaching resource that highlights Devlin’s range beyond set design and offers a model for young designers learning how a practice is built.
