In the slum that was 1970s Spitalfields, settlers arrived to occupy, mend, restore and live in its derelict Huguenot houses, unintentionally inspiring a new taste for faithful neo-Georgian domestic interiors and joinery that culminated with the founding of the Plain English Design company by Katie Fontana and Tony Niblock in 1992.
Join long-time Spitalfields resident and designer Marianna Kennedy and Ruth Guilding of the Bible of British Taste in conversation as they discuss the enduring influence that Spitalfields still holds on design, with a contribution by Merlin Wright, Design Director at Plain English Design.
Refreshments will be served in the Plain English kitchen donated to the museum in 2021.
