Designing a hub for creativity: insight into a historical studio building and its present day inhabitants, Art&Graft.

Based in Bankside in London, the international studio team have earned a global reputation for their extensive motion branding work and character-led animation projects, partnering with the likes of Apple, Meta, Google and Virgin Media. The studio is a foundry for co-creation, joint-exploration and long-term friendships. From conceptual world-building to the discovery of distinctive visual languages and motion systems, Art&Graft is a multi-faceted team that's independent in thought, diverse in technique, and dedicated in practice. The studio joins a variety of neighbours, from the Tate Modern to OXO Tower, in hosting activations in Bankside Design District during the festival period. A remaining landmark of industrial craftsmanship in the area and a hidden gem amongst surrounding developments, the studio on Loman Street has a rich creative history. Showcasing archival imagery from its transformation over the last century and craftsmanship achieved through partnering with a number of independent designers and artists, the event will address designing for creative workspace and involve tours of the studio building.
