London Design Medal

The London Design Medal celebrates individuals that have made an outstanding contribution to London and design

 

Chosen by a selection panel that includes some of Britain's leading design leaders, writers and policy makers, the Medal is a life-time achievement award given to the highest calibre of design talent in London.

St Paul's Cathedral will  provide the spectacular backdrop for the fifth presentation of the London Design Medal. A panel of key figures from across the design industry, including Director of the V&A, Sir Mark Jones, Cultural Advisor to the Mayor, Munira Mirza and Editor of Wallpaper* Magazine, Tony Chambers, will determine who will receive the medal in 2011. Thomas Heatherwick won this prestigious prize in 2010, joining previous winners Sir Paul Smith, Zaha Hadid and Marc Newson as having made a significant contribution to design and London. The medal will be awarded at a dinner supported by Swarovski, Monday 19 September. 

The London Design Medal is specially designed by Pentagram. The recipient is selected by a panel of eminent figures in the world of design and the creative industries.
