Tom Karen came to Britain in 1942, the middle of WWII, having escaped from Czechoslovakia in 1939 after the German occupation.
He studied aeronautical engineering at Loughborough followed by ten undistinguished years in the aircraft industry – first in a stress office (he was rubbish at maths) then in technical illustration (better, he could always draw).
In 1955 he went to the Central School in London to study industrial design. From there he got a job in Ford’s Styling Studio (great, he always loved cars). He left after four years to work for David Ogle, with clients such as Hotpoint and Philips. When David had his fatal car crash in 1962 Tom was invited to be MD and Chief Designer at Ogle and stayed there until 1999. Ogle became the largest independent organization for product and transport design in the UK.
He filled numerous sketchbooks during his design career, not always with the topic in hand, and a sample of his iconic sketches are the subject of this exhibition.
