Design Factory is the Design Museum’s annual project for HE project for BA students spanning; product, fashion/textiles, graphics/illustration and architecture/spatial design. This year the brief has been set by Designs of the Year 2012 Furniture nominees Silo Studio.

The title of the brief is ‘Hand Made – High Tech’ and encourages students to create a response that focuses on exploring and adapting unusual or unconventional materials and processes.

In a world saturated with ‘stuff’ how do designers generate innovative and surprising solutions?

    Hello,

    I come from Belgium and I visited your nice museum yesterday. I was interested by the small book about the flags (£7.95) next Draught Associates’ Visual Aid book. Back in Belgium, I can’t find the book reference on your web site. Can you help me ?
    Thank you very much.
