"We love EU" declare UK architects and designers ahead of referendum
Leading UK architects and designers will vote overwhelmingly to remain in tomorrow's EU referendum, according to a straw poll conducted by Dezeen, with figures including David Chipperfield and Ron Arad explaining how they will vote and why.
Every designer and architect that spoke to Dezeen said they would vote to remain in the EU.
London firm Studio Egret West has even demonstrated its support for the Remain campaign by painting its windows with the slogan "We love EU" and a smiling face based on the European flag.
Many creatives said that their businesses would be directly impacted if Britain leaves the EU, and employ 40 to 75 per cent of their staff from across the EU.
Graphic designer Neville Brody also published this pro-Remain image on his Facebook page "It is difficult to imagine how isolated my own profession would become, detached from the influences and inspiration of continental colleagues," said architect David Chipperfield.
"Open borders create a large and mobile pool of talent which is hugely beneficial for the design industry and the creative industry as a whole," added designer Ilse Crawford.
Jay Osgerby ? one half of London design duo Barber and Osgerby ? said the EU accounted for the vast majority of the income and staff across his businesses.
