Their collaboration began with the aim of celebrating six decades of design innovations that have shaped modern homes. EC’s creative team worked alongside DRUM to delve into Habitat’s rich history to craft an exhibition that not only reflected its unique character and history but also envisioned the future of home design. This process involved overcoming conceptual challenges and implementing innovative design solutions that pushed the boundaries of creativity.

The exhibition was segmented into thematic areas, CREATE, CONNECT, REST, and TRANSFORM, each crafted to offer visitors a distinct and interactive experience:

The exhibition featured colourful and textured statement pieces, considered lighting and spaces designed for slow living. Visitors were able to explore iconic objects from Habitat’s “60 Years of Design” collection, each element carefully crafted by our scenic team. To make this possible, their scenic team used a variety of skills such as expert carpentry, fabric manipulation, scenic painting, electric installation or precision CNC cutting. Their expertise ensured that every piece resonated with the exhibition’s theme, providing an immersive and engaging experience.

With 19 pieces of coverage in publications like the Financial Times, Time Out or Hypebeast and reaching an audience of around 1.1 million people, the exhibition extended its influence far beyond the physical space. The “Changing Spaces” installation significantly highlighted Habitat’s legacy and forward-looking approach to home design. By transforming the exhibition space into a dynamic and interactive environment, EC enhanced visitor engagement and showcased their expertise in turning imaginative concepts into interactive realities. This project not only celebrated design innovation but also demonstrated how interactive elements can deepen visitor involvement and leave a lasting impression.
