Beazley Designs of the Year 2019, Design Museum

The Beazley Designs of the Year Award identifies the most original and impactful designs and concepts across the fields of fashion, architecture, digital, transport, product and graphic design from the last year and brings these cutting-edge innovations together in one dynamic exhibition in the hallowed halls of the Design Museum.

This year's nominees have yet to be announced, but tickets are now on sale for September. Last year the award was given to Forensic Architecture, an independent research agency who uncovered miscarriages of justice and international war crimes through the architectural analysis of images in their work Counter Investigations (which was also nominated for the 2018 Turner Prize). Past exhibitions have included transformative and revolutionary works which show how design has the potential to change the world. From electronic self-healing and recyclable skin to the world’s first plastic-free shopping aisle in Amsterdam and Marvel’s Black Panther costumes designed by Ruth E. Carter, the Beazley exhibition buzzes with a single question: what will be the next world-altering innovation?

Displaying both established talent and rising stars, the exhibition offers a remarkable snapshot of the current world of design. For the first time, this year the public could nominate their favourite designs, and we can't wait to see what captured imaginations. Watch this space for the latest news about the nominees.
