Showcasing a year in design, the fourth annual
Brit Insurance Design Awards features an international shortlist ranging
from Yves Behar’s Swarovski Chandeliers to concrete Emergency Shelters
designed in Wales. Nominations also include the Apple iPad as well as six
different app's including the popular Angry Birds game.
Industry experts have nominated innovative and engaging designs from
around the world across seven categories: Architecture, Fashion, Furniture,
Graphics, Interactive, Product and Transport. Stephen Bayley will chair the
2011 jury and will be joined by art and design curator Janice Blackburn
OBE, graphic designer Mark Farrow, novelist Will Self, Pro Vice-
Chancellor of Kingston University Penny Sparke and Simon Waterfall co-
founder of digital agency Poke. We are pleased to announce that Bill
Moggeridge, Director of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, New
York will also join this year’s jury.
The nominations will be on show at the Brit Insurance Designs of the Year
Exhibition at the Design Museum from 16 February – 7 August 2011. From
this comprehensive list, the jury will select the seven category winners to be
announced on 28 February 2011. The overall Brit Insurance Design of the
Year will be announced at the Awards Dinner on 15 March 2011 and this
year’s awards trophy will be exclusively designed by Ross Lovegrove.
Alex Newson, curator of the Brit Insurance Designs of the Year exhibition
comments, “The sheer breadth of the shortlist reaffirms the importance of
good design and how it can help improve daily lives or even refresh the
familiar. Whether it is through ingenious temporary home solutions or a new
cycle scheme for London, it is a fascinating list of nominees."
