Future Pioneers discovered at New Designers

Overview

This event took place on 3 July 2014.

Join Design Council at New Designers - the UK’s largest exhibition for graduate designers - as we choose our Future Pioneers 2014.

New Designers exhibition

New Designers takes place over two weeks at the Business Design Centre in London, with each week focusing on a different set of design disciplines.

We’ll be at Part 2 which runs from 2 - 5 July to pick around five out of the 1,400 graduates exhibiting to become our Future Pioneers of 2014 - our initiative to celebrate and support up-and-coming designers who are principled, passionate and purposeful.

Look out for the work of our shortlisted designers from 3 July - you’ll spot the Future Pioneers swing tags on their stands.

Afternoon talks

We're hosting two afternoon talks on 3 July which we hope will provide an insight into life as a designer beyond graduation:

• Design plus: business know-how with Phage and Keith Arrowsmith
• Design plus: unexpected fusions with Adrian Westaway and FuseBox

Announcing the winners

You can join the celebration by coming along to the Thursday Late on 3 July from 6pm (free with a New Designers exhibition ticket). Our all-star judging panel including Sebastian Bergne and Morag Myerscough will be there discussing what makes a Future Pioneer and announcing their winners at 7pm. 

Sweet treats from the Meringue Girls, top tunes from designer-by-day/DJ-by-night Fred Butler, and photo fun from The Mighty Booth that will transform the Talks Theatre into a centre for celebration! 

With thanks to PRS for Music for supporting our celebration.
