Given to the best international designs of the year in the categories of Architecture, Fashion, Furniture, Graphics, Interactive, Product and Transport, the award is organised by the London Design Museum in partnership with Brit Insurance. An exhibition at the museum, running until April 27, accompanies the initiative with a display of the 100 short-listed designs. Some of the winning designs adopted a particularly original approach, such as Martino Gamper’s 100 Chairs in 100 Days, which won the Furniture category with this refl ection on the saturation of the classic chair in contemporary design, making 100 chairs with existing pieces; and Yves Béhar’s One Laptop Per Child, part of a nonprofi t programme by MIT, a small computer designed for children in developing countries.
