regulation black costumes are at odds with their glossy and coruscatingly stellar reputation. Visitors throng to the Blavatnik Building. They walk up and down the stairs, they breathe the air of art. Perhaps they are elevated by the experience.
But, most of all, they like going to the viewing gallery at the top of the building and taking in a vista of the City bracketed by Norman Foster’s hitherto wobbling bridge and Christopher Wren’s indestructibly secure cathedral. But they are looking out, not in. Tate Modern, you see, has no art worthy of the name to fill its new Blavatnik Building. But few visitors seem to care.
These two absurdities are eloquent of the changing nature of museums: people are less interested in looking at, examining and meditating on stuff. Instead, they are entirely happy with an undemanding (and literally vacuous) ‘visitor experience’ which ambitious, art-branded architecture provides. Culture (of a sort) may be acquired by visiting an empty space rather than by interrogating objects and images.
The elimination of stuff may be the most compelling psychological and philosophical reality of our historical moment. It goes beyond Kensington and Bankside. Nordstrom is a Seattle-based department store with 349 luxury links in its chain, spreading across the United States. Recently, it opened its first shop with nothing at all inside it. Instead, shoppers arrive, chill out, order a drink and peruse an online catalogue, ordering up for home delivery. Nordstrom saves on the costs of managing inventory, while customers can go shopping in their head while enjoying a craft beer.

As a consumer experience, it is one of detachment and conceptualisation rather than engagement and contact. This is the more significant as department stores and museums both emerged in the middle of the 19th century and with very similar purposes: the adoration of stuff. The only difference was in the one, the world was displayed for edification, in the other for consumption. But that was then and this is now.
The single greatest influence on the disappearance of stuff has been the smartphone. In the last decade, the know-all in your pocket has eliminated not only landlines, but hi-fi, encyclopaedias, still cameras, movie cameras, typewriters, radios and pornography, while its close relation – the tablet – has made television ‘sets’ all but redundant. Soon, smartphones will usurp many
of the old-fashioned museum’s roles. What’s the Design Museum for when you can point your phone at an object and it will tell you what it is, what people think about it and where to buy it?
So remarkable is the disappearance of stuff, you could not make Mad Men today. Not just because the apex-predator adman with his martini thirst is extinct, but because the gorgeous furniture and accessories which made Matt Weiner’s

Instead, shoppers arrive, chill out, order a drink and peruse an online catalogue, ordering up for home delivery. Nordstrom saves on the costs of managing inventory, while customers can go shopping in their head while enjoying a craft beer.
But Pawson was a curious choice as the designer of a museum since his aesthetic is all about getting rid of stuff, not putting it on display. When you can strip back no further, he is happy. Collections, however, disturb him. I followed some tourists into the building and overheard, ‘Ees vair nice. But where ees museum?’ The Design Museum is empty. If some see this as a metaphor about design itself, then maybe some are very perceptive indeed.
Then there is Herzog & de Meuron’s Blavatnik Building extension of Tate Modern on Bankside, which opened in May last year. It is an irrational, fractalised look-at-me structure by a Swiss architectural pair whose
‘When you get there, there’s no there there.’ This was Gertrude Stein’s wittily damning indictment of California’s featureless Oakland, a city of 420,000 souls.
But the same judgement applies to two of London’s most recent and remarkable cultural attractions. The Design Museum opened in Kensington in 2016, in an ambitiously (some say overly so) re-purposed Commonwealth Institute, a fondly remembered fifties landmark fallen into desuetude and redundancy. Exhibitions about groundnut cultivation in Ghana did not long survive The Swinging Sixties.
Famous for its ambitious (but useless) hyperbolic paraboloid roof (which somehow conveyed the naïve optimism of its imperial day), the building has been extensively evacuated and buffed up by John Pawson, an architect rightly famous for his majestic treatment of light and space. A poet of emptiness, you might say.
Pawson was introduced to the Cistercian monasteries of the Var by the romantic traveller Bruce Chatwin and routinely pays tribute to their beautiful austerity, also admired by Le Corbusier. This ‘architecture of truth’ he has achieved in Kensington: out goes the clutter, in comes the space. The circulation of The Design Museum is elegantly conceived. Indeed, people gasp. It is vaut le voyage, in itself.

ELIZABETH HURLEY
I adore Country & Town House, primarily because it’s where I fi rst saw the advertisement for the house I bought in Herefordshire. It’s a beautiful glossy magazine.
TESTIMONIALS
Country & Town House
YASMIN LE BON
I can’t wait to look at Country & Town House every month, it feels like having a really rewarding chat with a friend you admire and want to be like, while totally satisfying my need for fashion, design and property, never too much, just really interesting moments presented in a beautiful but approachable manner.
STRUTT & PARKER
Last month we sold two of our loveliest houses as a direct result of buyers seeing them in Country & Town House. One at £1.85m and another at £10m. We love the magazine.
ANNOUSHKA
We have seen a signifi cant response in our London stores as a direct result of advertising in Country & Town House.
JOSEPHINE HOME
We love Country & Town House magazine. Thanks to its top-notch editing and spectacular features, it attracts the type of reader who encapsulates our target market..
TAYLOR HOWES DESIGN
Country & Town House is certainly one of my top magazines and has a great balance of everything I want to read about. As someone who is fortunate to have a home in both the country and town it is essential reading.
RACHEL JOHNSON
Just to say what fun the mag C&TH is – my husband and I were fi ghting over it. Glossy contributors, really good content and nicer to look at than House & Garden.
Great British & Irish Hotels
The Pigs and Lime Wood have been proud to be a part of C&TH’s Great British & Irish Hotels over the past few years. Our brand has been showcased perfectly alongside the other brands that the guide has chosen to work with. The editorial is always spot on and images used make each hotel look stylish and inviting.ROBIN HUTSON, CEO OF THE PIGS AND LIME WOOD
PAULA FITZHERBERT, MAYBOURNE HOTEL GROUP
We have long been supporters of C&TH and their guides, and fi rmly believe C&TH fl ies the fl ag for the true best of British, and has established a voice of authority in the luxury marketplace.
Great British Brands
CHARBONNEL ET WALKER
The Great British Brands magazine is beautiful and brilliant.
HAMILTON & INCHES
Great British Brands 2017 is an absolute delight, very proud to be a part of it. Please pass on my thanks to Julia Carrick.
