A Seat at the Table exhibition by Design Everything

Published November 12, 2025

Design Everything presents A Seat At The Table, a mobile exhibition showcasing a collection of 36 seats designed by some of the most exciting emerging talent. Installed in the back of a Luton van – a vehicle synonymous with moving furniture across the capital – the exhibition travelled between key design districts including the Shoreditch Design Triangle, Brompton Design District, and Dalston to Stokey Design District. The project offered a dynamic platform for designers to present their work and practice to new audiences across London.

The project also debuted JN Messenger, a digital re-interpretation of Courier, expanding on the legacy of one of the most iconic typefaces of the last century. JN Messenger was used as the hero typeface across the identity of the show.

Designed by Izi Thexton, the publication reflects the concept of the mobile exhibition, with all components becoming unbound into their own booklets, posters, and essays.

Alongside the mobile exhibition, a series of panel discussions were held at key venues, with established designers, such as Alexandra Gerber, Andu Masebo, Gareth Neal, John Tree, Petko Tashev and many, many more.
