Take a look into the world of architect John Pawson, the man behind the design and remodelling of the interiors of London’s much talked about Design Museum.

The video shows John walking through the building, which used to house London’s Commonwealth Institute. When asked in the clip whether it was intimidating to design the Design Museum, John responds: “Intimidating to design a design museum for designers? No, because what you’re doing is working with the challenges of an existing space to make the building as comfortable as possible so that people feel good in it, things look good in it and then it allows people to think about design.”

Watch the above clip to discover more.

The Designs of the Year Awards is an annual event organised by London’s Design Museum. The idea behind the awards is to acknowledge work “that promotes or delivers change, enables access, extends design practice or captures the spirit of the year.”

76 nominees have been chosen that fall under six main categories, which include: architecture, digital, fashion, product, graphics and transport. All of the nominees are incredibly impressive ranging from the Google Self Driving Car and Frank Gehry’s Fondation Louis Vuitton to The Ocean Cleanup by Boyan Slat (CEO and founder), Jan de Sonneville PhD (lead engineer) and Erwin Zwart (designer).

An exhibition will be held where all 76 projects will go on show from the 25 March 2015 at the museum. Winners from each category and a main winner will be announced later this year.

Here are the 22 exciting products that have been shortlisted for Design of the Year 2013 by the Design Museum in London. We love the ingenuity of the non-stick ketchup bottle, the attention to detail of Inga Sempé‘s light swtiches and the shear magic of Front’s bubble lamp. But it is the amount of social-improvement orientated designs that is really heart-warming.
