Celebrating new and emerging design talent, the Design Museum’s annual Designers in Residence programme supports designers at an early stage in their career. Now in its fifth year, the residency demonstrates the museums commitment to showcasing and supporting the next generation of design talent.

Selected via an open-call, this years residents were asked to respond to the brief ‘Thrift’ and to explore the idea of economy and resourcefulness in an object. The results will be on display at the Design Museum in the exhibition designed by Asif Khan, Designer in Residence 2010.

2012 Designers in Residence:
Freyja Sewell
Oscar Medley-Whitfield and Harry Trimble
Lawrence Lek
Yuri Suzuki
