Disruptive Thinking wins Blueprint best stand award at 100% Design
The exhibition aims to apply design (methods, thinking, crafts, aesthetics, etc.) to the fields of social research, commentary and performance. The prize was awarded for the show’s engaging and inviting content. From homemade toasters to thermite kettles, space rocket chairs, shoes with hidden keys and mobile phones that enable you to communicate without speaking, the breadth of works enables us to envision what the future may hold in an original and thought provoking way.
Masamichi Udagawa says of the show:
"It expands the utility of design - both culturally and commercially. In the process, this approach invigorates and redefines the field of design itself."
Notes to editor:
The collective of work features the work of Nelly Ben Hayoun, Will Carey, Vanessa Harden, Austin Houldsworth, Tommaso Lanza, Nicolas Myers, Dot Samsen, Thomas Thwaites, Kellenberger –White and Ha Yeon Yoo.
Thomas Thwaites wins Silver BLUEPRINT for best emerging talent
David Tonge (founder of the Division London) says:
"Disruptive Thinking is exploring responses to our current turbulent social conditions, enabling us to visualise and understand what the future may hold. The results are provocative, thoughtful and what designers should be doing - don’t be frightened by it, it’s the future."
All exhibitor’s are recent graduate of Design Interactions Royal College of Art 2009
