Spectrum, London Design Festival 2024

Step into a world where color comes alive—not just through sight, but through every sense. Welcome to SPECTRUM, an extraordinary exhibition crafted by Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead, the visionary duo behind 2LG Studio. More than just an exhibit, SPECTRUM is an invitation—a call to embark on a journey where color tells a story of diversity, inclusivity, and emotion.

From the moment you enter, you’re enveloped in an experience like no other. The gentle cadence of Russell’s spoken word echoes through the air, inviting you to slow down and listen, to truly feel the words as they intertwine with the ambient soundscape. The fragrances, custom-created by Aromatise for this event, linger delicately, adding yet another layer to the sensory tapestry. And just when you think you’ve tasted it all, decadent cocktails from UBA, Hart’s latest restaurant, tempt your taste buds, pairing perfectly with the mood of the space.

Around you, the room seems to breathe with life. Vibrant video projections dance across the walls, while tactile elements invite you to touch, explore, and connect. Each piece—whether it’s the striking Chrysalis chair installation from Kirkby Design and Third Person Upholstery, or the stunning 3D-printed Peach vases by Sheyn—adds a new dimension to this colourful world.

But the heart of SPECTRUM beats strongest in its storytelling. Lucy Hardcastle’s digital film doesn’t just play; it resonates, brought to life by Quentin LaChapele’s bespoke soundscape. Every visual, every sound is a response to a poem written by Russell himself—a deeply personal reflection on colour, emotion, and identity. As Russell’s voice softly narrates his words, you’re drawn deeper into the story, each line underscored by LaChapele’s music.

This is more than an exhibition. It’s a sensory journey, a celebration of colour that touches every part of who we are. Come, and let SPECTRUM show you a world where color speaks louder than words.
