The Design team promotes British design through a range of activities and events including touring exhibitions, workshops, seminars, and conferences overseas led by British designers and study programmes in the UK for overseas visitors. Our programme reflects the wide range of disciplines practised to a world class standard by British designers and includes graphic design, fashion, architecture, city planning and the built environment, interior design, digital media, industrial and product design, furniture and design education.

For biographical information and interviews on dozens of British designers go to the Design in Britain microsite, a collaboration between the British Council and the Design Museum.
