Brit Insurance Design Awards 2008
Last night I attended the inaugural Brit Insurance Designs of the Year award at The Design Museum. From 100 nominations there were 7 winners, but the one that impressed me most was the Best Product award giving to Yves Béhar for his $100 laptop project. Yves told us the story about how he initially met with MIT Media Lab to discuss the collaboration with Negroponte. It was very moving to see a photograph of a child in Nigeria carrying the laptop on his head, which Yves highlighted reflects that they only carry the most precious belongings in this way. It was a good evening and a tribute to Design Museum Curator, Deyan Sudjic.
