Last night it was announced that the British Designer Samuel Wilkinson and the supporting product design company Hulger have scooped the Brit Insurance Design of the Year award with their innovative redesign of the low-energy light bulb.
The award was presented by the jury chair Stephen Bayley, he states “The Plumen light bulb is a good example of the ordinary thing done extraordinarily well, bringing a small measure of delight to an everyday product.”
It’s been almost a year since a folding plug won the 2010 Brit Insurance Designs and thank goodness it did, where would we be now without our folding plugs? Hmm. Have you ever seen one being used or being sold in a shop? Not I. But that was last year, so let’s move on and hope that is year’s winner will offer something a little more life changing. The seven category winners have now been announced by the board at the Design Museum and here they are…
An exhibition showcasing the nominees for the fourth annual Brit Insurance Design Awards has been unveiled to the public today at The Design Museum.
As usual the categories cover architecture, fashion, furniture, graphics, interactive, product and transport and will be mulled over by an elite jury consisting of chairman Stephen Bayley, art and design curator Janice Blackburn, graphic designer Mike Farrow, novelist Will Self, pro vice-chancellor of Kingston University Penny Sparke, co-founder of digital agency ‘Poke’ Simon Waterfall and Bill Moggeridge, director of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York.
The Pocket-lint awards are the longest running UK gadget and gizmo awards which happen each winter. Yesterday saw the announcements for the nominations for the 7th annual event.
Back in 2008 Brit Insurance and the Design Museum teamed up to bring us the Brit Insurance Design Award – an international, annual award ceremony and supporting exhibition for up and coming designers in the categories of architecture, fashion, furniture, graphics, interactive, product and transport.
The gong remains the same. Is it worth winning awards?
