Freeze-Frame examined the working process of seven British designers: Tom Dixon, James Irvine, Jasper Morrison, Matthew Hilton, Michael Young, Ross Lovegrove and Sebastian Bergne.

The exhibition illustrated the process of design by examining the sources of inspiration which led these designers to their products. It comprised of seven room settings, juxtaposing objects produced industrially and a reconstitution of the working environment in which the product was developed. The exhibition was not representative of the complete works of the designers but it was an intuitive or intentional self-selection made by each designer - it reflected the symbols and emotions of each designer as they went through the design process.

The exhibition was curated by Marco Sousa Santos and organised by Proto Design, The British Council and the Lisbon Museu do Design.
