Now in their third year, the Brit Insurance Designs Awards, "the Oscars of the design world," showcases the most innovative and forward thinking designs from around the world. Last year's winner, the unofficial Barack Obama poster by Shepard Fairey, demonstrated the power that design can have at a grass-root level. This year's winner is the Folding Plug by Min-Kyu Choi that revolutionises a humble, but essential, piece of everyday equipment. See all the category winners, nominations and comment on the designsoftheyear.com blog.
