Designs of the Year at London Design Museum

What do the Kinect for the Xbox 360, the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner and a thousand paper models of birds have in common? They have all been selected for this year’s ‘Designs of the Year’ exhibition at the London Design Museum. The entries are all selected by industry figures and make an eclectic range of areas where the skills of a professional designer are called for – from product design to graphic design, from illustration to architecture. A review including many photos of the exhibits can be found on the Creative Review magazine website.
Some projects are more practical such as the Homeplus Tesco Virtual Store from Korea are or the hospital in Rwanda in the architecture section. Some are more visual such as the ‘Thousand cranes for Japan’ project’ supporting those affected by the tsunami. The exhibition runs until July 15th.
