Design Museum

24 April 2009

On 24 April 2009, we undertook a group trip to the Design Museum at Shad Thames in London, followed by drinks at All Bar One near the museum. The event was looking at all facets of design including fashion and architecture. The event was a preview of the 2009 Brit Insurance Design Awards, including the world’s most interesting and forward looking designs by industry experts spanning seven categories: architecture, fashion, furniture, graphics, interactive, product and transport. The 91 shortlisted designs were on display in the Brit Insurance Designs of the Year exhibition. From this comprehensive list, a panel has decided the category winners in each of the seven disciplines. These finalists will go forward to vie for the 2009 Brit Insurance Design of the Year to be judged by a panel, chaired by Alan Yentob and including the designer and environmentalist Karen Blincoe, and the architect Peter Cook.
