d89 EVENT REVIEW / NEW DESIGNERS 2019
University of Brighton graduate Caterina Abend’s designs explore the ways in which the waste on Brighton beach could be turned into a useful resource for making new objects
DESIGN GRADUATES OF ALL DISCIPLINES WERE THE STARS AT THIS YEAR’S NEW DESIGNERS EXHIBITION, WITH A WEALTH OF INNOVATIVE CREATIONS ON SHOW
H
ome products grown from mycelium and an auto-
injector for diabetes were just some of the pioneering designs by the
new generation of designers whose work was presented at this year’s New Designers event in London.
The wide range of ideas on display included products addressing many of society’s current issues from sustainability and health to feminism and mindfulness. Across the two-week show, talent from over 170 creative courses is showcased, with 1,500 graduate designers displaying work from across the furniture, product, industrial, spatial design, graphic design, illustration and digital arts sectors.
During the event, awards are given in partnership with 20 design brands and organisations including John
Lewis, The Conran Shop, 100% Design and LEGO, with cash prizes, professional advice and paid work placements for the various winners.
Among those gaining special recognition this year were Will Hudson of Sheffield Hallam University who won the Sainsbury’s Argos Home Award for his Thea range of modular seating which incorporates sustainability and British sourcing into a light and efficient product. Joe Deakin of Birmingham City University won the W’innovate & Wilko Award for Embed, a range of kitchen accessories designed to utilise lost space within the kitchen environment, including a knife locking system embedded into the worksurface, and a pop-up salt and pepper storage holder.
Jack Williams, also from Sheffield Hallam, won the Kenwood Appliances Award for his compact food processor design, created to maximise storage and reduce clutter in small kitchens.
Alongside the main New Designers event is One Year In, highlighting a selection of recently-launched businesses from recent graduates. From this section, Ty Syml won the Country Living One Year In Associate Prize for a range of home design products grown from mycelium and mixed with waste products such as wood waste and used train tickets. The finished products are water and fire resistant, and biodegradable at the end of their life.
On a similarly sustainable theme, High Society won the London Design Fair Associate Prize for Light Shades, a series of designs made from post-industrial waste coming from hemp, wine and tobacco.
