Credits

The RCA fosters experimentation, enterprise and research, accelerating highly creative individuals. This would not be possible without the support of countless individuals, organisations and foundations, to whom we offer our sincere thanks. 

We would particularly like to thank alumni Kristoffer Soelling and Tom Finn of Regular Practice (both MA Visual Communication, 2017), for Show 2019's visual identity and 2D design.

We would also like to thank Dzek Ltd for support-in-kind, providing Show RCA with Marmoreal, an engineered marble designed by RCA alumnus Max Lamb (MA Design Products, 2008) and used in Show 2019's wayfinding display system, designed by Damian Fopp (MA Design Products, 2017).
