F1 engineering and artistic sculpture collide in John Barnard and Terence Woodgate exhibition
September 2025
The project unites renowned British product and furniture designer Terence Woodgate with John Barnard, the pioneering Formula 1 engineer who masterminded the sport’s first carbonfibre monocoque and served as technical director for both McLaren and Ferrari.
Reluctant to work abroad in the late 1980s and 1990s , Barnard struck a deal to design the Scuderia’s cars from an unassuming building in Shalford, Surrey, rather than Maranello. That Ferrari was willing to make such a rare concession speaks volumes about John’s engineering talent.
