Professor Daniel Charny devised the curatorial strategy for ‘Designer Maker User', the new permanent exhibition at the relaunched Design Museum in London which presents the museum's collection to look at the development of modern design through these three interconnected roles.
Professor Daniel Charny worked closely with the Design Museum over a number of years to create the themes and overall narrative structure of Designer Maker User. Charny was appointed content and interpretation consultant and developed the curatorial concept and the thematic strategy for the permanent Collection Display. The exhibition was curated by Alex Newson, Senior Curator at the Design Museum and the exhibition Design is by Myerscough Studios.

Carl Clerkin was designer-curator of ‘The Learned Society of Extra-Ordinary Objects', a design exhibition at Somerset House, London, 5 July – 3 September 2017. Thirty contemporary designers, artists and makers were invited to become the new, 21st century fellows of the Society, and create or contribute ordinary objects with extra-ordinary stories, or suggest playful and surprising modifications to familiar objects – reimagining our interaction with items we encounter in our everyday lives.
