The Brutal and The Beautiful Miscellaneous


On the10th of June meet Rhonda Drakeford, a renowned interior designer and an arbiter of style in London.

On Friday 10th of June meet one of London's most acclaimed interior designers and retail gurus Rhonda DrakefordAs founder of the celebrated interiors shop Darkroom, Drakeford has often been referred to as a modern day arbiter of styleHer usage of bold colours and patterns are why her taste and designs stand out from the crowd

A lover of brutalist architecture, Rhonda will be guiding a walk through the Barbican, London's iconic brutalist landmark

The joy [and pain] of London life is its constant evolution
From a bomb crater rises a brutalist mega structure of modernity, whilst elsewhere, a Georgian house is slowly filled to bursting point over time with architectural artefacts that idolise the past…

Our walk will commence at the Conservatory within the Barbican centre where we are introduced to the idea of contrasting textures between brutalist architecture and luscious foliage and planting

We continue through an area that has seen massive changes in architecture and occupation, discovering the often awkward but sometime glorious relationships between the old and the newWe finish at Darkroom, situated in one of Bloomsbury’s prettiest streets where one can immerse oneself in contrasting designs from London and across the globe…

Tickets include coffee or tea, and the recognisable Darkroom notebook to jot things down along the walk

Artists: Rhonda Drakeford, Penelope Sacorafou
