Kenneth Grange Exhibition

Kenneth Grange isssss an INCREDIBLE character! He has designed everrrything! If i'm honest, i hadn't much about him but now i'm seeing his name in quite a few places.

"Kenneth Grange is Britain’s leading product designer, his prolific career spans over 50 years and he is responsible for designing some of the most iconic and familiar products and appliances that shape our daily lives."

He did many designs for Kenwood along with redsigns for the red post box and black cabs. He also designed many Kodak cameras, parker pens, bus shelters furniture and the silhouette for the Intercity 125 train along with working recently with Anglepoise.

Walking around the exhibition, taking in everything this one man had done in his life was such a buzz! Some of Grange's original sketches were also on show, which made me feel a little better about my shoddy drawing. He wasn't exactly perfect with a pencil but he is still so successful.
