Design Museum Collection: Extraordinary Stories About Ordinary Things at Design Museum

The Design Museum has the UK’s only collection devoted exclusively to contemporary design and architecture. This new collection display reveals intriguing insights found in these exceptional, as well as everyday, items. Six design stories are presented in the exhibition, offering a diverse look at design: National Identity, Plastics, Modernism, An Archetype – The Anglepoise Lamp, A Designer in the Spotlight and Style Through The Decades. National Identity looks at the objects that define a nation such as the phone box, road signage, the post box, the London 2012 logo and a Euro coin.
