‘The Future Starts Here’ at the V&A opens – Exhibition lighting by DHA Designs

DHA designs have completed work on ‘The Future Starts Here’ at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

It marks the first time the museum has dedicated a display to the topic of the future. It is also the first major exhibition produced by the V&A’s Contemporary Architecture, Design and Digital team.

The exhibition features more than 100 designs of today, picked by the curators because they suggest what our near future might look like.

Visitors to The Future Starts Here will encounter the objects displayed across four zones, each dedicated to a different theme in tech — self, public, planet and afterlife.

The design for these zones are by Spanish architect Andrés Jaque’s Office for Political Innovation
