Level 1, four walls, no ticket. Brewster's first museum show is the free floor of the Design Museum, up since February and running to January, and the thing worth the trip is Negrita, a new bench in ebonised tulipwood built on the same structural language as her chaise and side table. From Trinidad to Tottenham, as the wall text puts it. The museum is shut until September 5.

FIND — the score is ahead of the room.

BENCHMARK IN THE 50 · Denim Tears — nearest on the 50 for an object built to carry a diasporic argument, and it isn't close: the 50 holds no furniture entry at all, and Brewster works one bench at a time in ebonised tulipwood rather than in cotton at scale
