Metropolitan Works presents Metamorphosis

Metropolitan Works will host a new product exhibition for this year’s London Design Festival at the Portobello Dock in West London. The exposition will showcase the selected products from June’s Metamorphosis competition, which saw 50 designers submit product ideas and undergo the cutting-edge New Product Development Programme (NPD) that will be offered through the Centre as of autumn 2010. The eight chosen winners are working with NPD experts over the summer to develop prototypes using Metropolitan Works’ advanced digital and traditional design and manufacturing facilities. Their final projects will be on show at this exhibition in advance of going to market.

1:1 Advice sessions for designers and product developers

In addition to the display, we will also be offering one-to-one, hour-long skills sessions for designers that are keen to develop new products themselves. Anyone interested will get a chance to take a session that covers a number of areas from the full course, which is being led by product and furniture design consultant, Linden Davies.
