Architecture
Built heritage and environment are two key areas within British architecture so read a little about them and how we showcase the best talent overseas.
Product and Furniture
The UK is a creative hot house for the design of products, furniture, lighting and furnishings. Design education is particularly strong in these areas, there is a wealth of talent in this field and British designers feature prominently among the leading product specialists on the world stage.
Fashion
The Architecture, Design and Fashion team work in fashion because, being popular, prolifically illustrated in all kinds of media, and deeply associated with human emotions, it communicates its messages rapidly and vividly to a wide public.
Graphic Design
The UK is home to hundreds of small graphics teams, groups of designers who are characterised by their stylistic eclecticism, their lack of insularity and their umbilical connection to contemporary popular culture.
Craft and Applied Art
From jewellery to glass and ceramics, crafts and applied arts have played a complex role in the social, cultural and artistic history of Britain.
