Museum of the Home is located in the heart of Hoxton. Originally an almshouse, the building was transformed into a museum dedicated to exploring the history of domestic life and everyday objects — most notably through its iconic living room displays that span across time.
The museum’s latest exhibition, "Rooms Through Time," delves into personal stories and objects that reflect the lived experiences of East London communities — past, present, and future. It showcases how ways of living, furniture, textiles, and decor have evolved through the ages.
I was commissioned to develop a new sub-brand for the exhibition, creating visual assets to support its communication and promotion. Working closely with the Museum of the Home’s communications team and director, we designed invitations and teaser posters to be shared with curators and community members who contributed to shaping the exhibition.
To give audiences a glimpse of what to expect, we chose key objects from each era as focal points for the promotional materials. By using silhouettes combined with halftone patterns, we created a sense of neutrality and cohesion, highlighting the equal significance of each object. Additionally, we introduced a new color—aligned with the existing brand guidelines—that gives the exhibition its own distinctive identity while remaining connected to the museum’s overarching brand.
"Rooms Through Time" officially opened to the public on 23rd July 2024.
