This is an RDInsights archive catch-up recording from 2015 with Interior designer Ben Kelly RDI, best known for his innovative and often industrial approach to interior spaces. His most iconic work is the design of the legendary Hacienda nightclub in Manchester, which opened in 1982. Ben's design approach often incorporates elements of postmodernism and brutalism, with a strong emphasis on raw materials, geometric forms, and striking colour contrasts. His work frequently bridges the gap between art, architecture, and design, and he has collaborated with various artists, musicians, and cultural institutions. His clients have ranged from Paul Smith and Vivienne Westwood to the Science and V&A Museums.
