TOM KAREN

Tom Karen - 1926-2022 - Rest in Peace 

2022 ended with the sad news of the passing of Tom Karen. Tom was the lead designer at Letchworth's OGLE Design, and is best remembered for designing the iconic Bond Bug and Raleigh Chopper.

The Museum at One Garden City is currently running an exhibition dedicated to his life and work, which has been extended to 15 April.

The special exhibition in the Museum at One Garden City explores the fascinating life and work of one of Britain's most influential designers, at Ogle Design in Letchworth and beyond.

Drawing on items from the Garden City Collection, the V&A Museum, donations from former Ogle employees and Tom's own extensive collections, the exhibition aims to capture a sense of Tom's charm and ingenuity in design.
