Brit Insurance is an exhibtion at the Design Museum (London) that showcases the best design work from all around the world in the categories of: architecture, fashion, furniture, graphics, interaction, product and transport.

This is the second year we have visited the exhibition and thought we would share some of our favorite pieces from this years show.

Green Protest Suit, UK

“Mullins has created the Protest Suit, whereby applying HollyWood Green Screen to the felt suit implies that it can display political messages when filmed. Therefore, by wearing the suit within the borders of what would normally be regarded as cut-off limits for displaying political messages, this suit can convey any form of communication when filmed”.

Jar Tops, Holland

“These are a simple but ingenious way of transforming ordinary empty jars into functional products. There are five variations allowing the creation of a milk jog, sauce jug, sugar shaker, oil/vinegar pourer or chocolate/herb shaker. The tops are made to fit jars designed using the ‘Twist Off’ standard, and international standard that is used for food jars with metal or plastic screw caps and can be recognised by two or more screw thread ridges on the neck of the jar”.

Workit Office System, Switzerland

“Individual work stations can be expanded as desired and flexibly combined with one another, where the accessible price range of the system is in part also the result of the design concept and product philosophy”.

Aesop Retail Stores and Branding, Australia

“The retail display units at the store on Flinders Lane, Melbourne were entirely constructued from the cardboard packaging, 3000 cardboard boxes in total, used to distribute and ship the Aesop products”.

Appeel, Germany

Described as,

“A virus spreaing through interacting individuals”, Appeel demonstrates the basic principles of interactivity largely reliant on the behaviour of the user. A surface is covered by a large number of coloured stickers, positioned in a grid. People are invited to remove the stickers, leaving white dots in the layout, as a result individually and collectively changing the walls appearance”.

Music video for Radiohead House of Cards, UK

“A ground breaking technique is employed in which no cameras or lights are used. Instead the three dimensional images are captured using scanners which use two types of technology. The first being Geometric Informatics, where scanning thechniques produce structured light to capture three dimensional images at close proximity…the second technology is Velodyne LIDAR, a system that uses multiple lasers to capture larger environments”.

So if you haven’t been aleady, pop along! The exhibition runs until 14th June 09.
