Autex Origins

INSTALLTION | CLERKENWELL, LONDON

Created in collaboration with Autex Acoustics for Clerkenwell Design Week 2026, this immersive exhibition transforms the brand’s 1967 origins into a tangible, inhabitable space. Inspired by the business’s beginnings in a living room in the late 1960s, the walls are layered with photographs and stories that trace a legacy of innovation—from the early use of reconditioned machinery and ventures in automotive and electronics to global expansion and recent manufacturing investment in the UK.

Visitors are invited into a curated, nostalgic environment where every detail tells a story. Framed digital and archival photography marks pivotal milestones, while a vintage television broadcasts footage of the brand’s sponsored rugby team, bringing moments from its history to life.

Through era-specific artefacts, custom Autex vinyls, and period newspapers, the exhibition charts the company’s journey from humble beginnings to a global leader in the acoustics industry.
