Vitra Design Museum in Basel, Germany, has launched a special exhibition telling the story of club design from the 1960s to the present day.

Club venues around the world have played an important role in music, art and culture for many years, but the exhibition, Night Fever: Designing Club Culture, focuses on how the spaces were designed and looks at some of the most innovative venues, past and present, and their influence on artists, musicians and designers.

Night Fever investigates how architecture and interior design intertwined with sound, light and graphic design, as well as the world of fashion, to create spaces unlike any other in a city.

The exhibit, which runs through until 9 September, looks at nightclubs in 1960s Italy, the famed Studio 54 which was visited by artist Andy Warhol, and Manchester’s Haçienda, which was designed by Ben Kelly. OMA’s more recent work for the Ministry of Sound in London is also explored.

Film footage, photography, club marketing and fashion are all used to present the narrative, while an interactive light and music installation helps bring the experience to life.
