On Wednesday 23 April 2025, welcomed the top ten shortlisted schools who submitted this year to the Design Museum for a day of celebration. We also unveiled the Design Ventura 2024-25 display on the mezzanine – make sure you come and visit while it’s up.

Our students kicked off the day by exploring our current exhibitions, The World of Tim Burton and Splash! A Century of Swimming and Style, to give them a chance to get to know each other and settle in to the museum. We followed this with our favourite activity every Celebration Day: Design Speed Networking. Students met professionals from all across the design and creative industries and varying career paths – find out more about them below.

We hope you’re all back into the groove of things after half-term. We’re just finding time now to tell you about our last teacher CPD, which took place in-person at the Design Museum on Friday 1 November. First of all, thank you so much to everyone who came, choosing to spend a half-day of their holiday with us! We talked about how we can better embed sustainability in both design and teaching – a vital, critical, hopeful conversation which we found really valuable and hope you did too.

We were joined by Joseph from A New Field, creators of sustainable craft kits made and packaged using biodegradable or otherwise more sustainable materials and processes. You can see all the materials they use in their kits here, along with several manufacturers who may provide a good starting point for this year’s student teams. Their craft kits ask the user to source some of the raw materials themselves, by going out and foraging for pine needles before chopping and mixing them together with the provided natural ingredients. The result is a mouldable, bakeable putty.

We’ve actually had several Design Ventura teams over the years include an activity or ‘DIY’ component like this in their submitted product designs. It’s a great way of potentially making your product stand out by being more sustainable and customisable. However, it can be tricky to strike a balance between engaging and satisfying your user.

A New Field’s way of striking this balance might help inspire your own students if they’re thinking of making a product with any ‘activity’ component. Most materials are provided in the kit, with one carefully chosen component – importantly one which is fun, not too arduous or inaccessible – given to the user. Information is provided on how to go about obtaining this component both in the kits and in the ‘Foraging’ section of their website FAQ, so the user doesn’t feel abandoned! All this helps ensure that the ‘DIY’ component is a positive part of the product offer rather than making it a chore.

After hearing from Joseph about how A New Field got started – and having a go at making our own craft kits! – we had a whistle-stop tour of the museum’s second-floor public display Tomorrow’s Wardrobe. This display looks at sustainability innovations at all levels of the fashion and textile industries in the UK. It shows how sustainability can be embedded in design at every stage of the product life-cycle: raw materials and manufacturing, supply chain and retail, usage and maintenance of the product, and end-of-life or disposal. Name brands, grassroots manufacturers, and independent designers are featured including Ahluwalia, Phoebe English, Ponda, Ranra, Salomon, Stella McCartney, and Vivobarefoot.

You can find out more about Tomorrow’s Wardrobe on the Future Observatory website – and there will be teacher notes for it up on the Design Museum website very soon – but we’d especially like to highlight a special commission made for this exhibition which we feel could be a useful teaching tool. The Garment Lifecycle Map is an online resource which can be used by anyone anywhere in the world, on both desktop and mobile devices. Just pick a garment type, then click through the segments to find out more about the different stages of its life-cycle.

You can find some more useful links to handy resources including activities, videos, and more on sustainability and sustainable design here.

If you’d like to join us for events like this in future, remember that the best way to stay up-to-date is by signing up for our newsletter and following us on our social media: we’re @Design_Ventura on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter/X.

The post Design Ventura Shortlisting Panel 2022-23 appeared first on Design Ventura.

Students Amanda, Genevieve, Holly, William and Serena won Design Ventura 2021-22 with their product Eco Seed, a doughnut shaped grid which floats on water keeping seeds moist and provoking them to germinate. Here they talk about their experience of developing their design for sale in the Design Museum Shop.

‘As soon as we got the design brief about the five senses and knew that we wanted our product to be as sustainable as possible, we began coming up with ideas that would fit the design brief. After many different designs, we came up with a concept that allows you to grow a plant without soil or a plant pot. This applied well with the senses of sight, touch, taste and smell.  After many sketches, prototypes, iterations and 3D printed models we developed the Eco Seed.’

Regarding the sustainability side, we decided to use PLA as our 3D printing material because of its chemically degradable and recyclable properties, as well as its durability and waterproof properties.’

‘Once it was time to further develop our design for production and sale at the Design Museum’s shop, we collaborated with amazing designers from Batch Works and Triple Double. Together we discussed how our Eco Seeds could be manufactured and what kind of packaging it should be sold in. 

Changes to our Eco Seed consisted of printing the rings and grids separately (still in PLA), then clipping them back together, to reduce waste and manufacturing time, we also changed the grid shape from regular squares to a honeycomb pattern to make it more aesthetically pleasing.  

Regarding the colour of our Eco Seed’s ring and grid, was decided to test out different colours to see which ones reacted with the water and the seeds the least. After testing we concluded that the colours mustard yellow, and terracotta would be the best fit for our Eco Seed’s long-term use.

For our packaging we liked how our original one was very simple and allowed you to see the full Eco Seed, including the grid. However, to minimise packaging we decided to make it smaller and more compact whilst still allowing a window to view the Eco Seed’s grid, making the design even more playful and eye catching for all age ranges. 

Lastly, regarding the instructions, we were very keen to make sure anyone could understand how to use the Eco Seed. Our solution to this was to have illustrations rather than writing to facilitate universal understanding, and therefore use, of our product.

Collaborating along with designers from Triple Double and Batch Works was extremely enlightening​ ​and eye opening for us. Not only did we get to see how professional designers work, pitch their ideas and improve them based on feedback, we were also able to experience things from a client’s perspective. As the clients, we had a say about the next direction for the ideas and any requests or improvements. Everything was so much more professional.’

‘Going to London was such an exciting and unforgettable experience for us. We participated in workshops before the awards ceremony and had the opportunity to talk to multiple people from a range of design related backgrounds. We also had the opportunity to hear about two successful people’s journeys in detail, relating to their careers, which gave us many insights into these in particular.

When we found out that we had won the competition, all we could do was look at each other in awe while processing this. Everything seemed so surreal, like a fantasy or a dream. We were all hoping to win but couldn’t quite believe it at first. The whole experience taught us that hard work does pay off and it’s given us confidence in our designs and creativity.’

‘We would like to say a special thank you to Triple Double and Batch Works for helping us improve our product and its packaging, as well as the Deutsche Bank for hosting the pitching event and, of course, the whole Design Ventura team and judges for giving us the opportunity to compete in the competition by shortlisting our team.’

Final product available for sale in the Design Museum Shop
