Daewoo’s sales strategy, Teletubbies, Viagra, and a wind-up lantern
designed along the lines of a wind-up radio have all been named in the
latest list of Millennium Products from the Design Council.
The products have been selected because they are innovative, creative
and forward-thinking. A selection of them will appear in the Millennium
Dome. So far three lists of Millennium Products have been released since
the first designs were announced last year by Prime Minister Tony
Blair.
The products will be showcased around the world in trade shows and are
said to represent the best in British design and innovation.
A Millennium Products database, ’Sharing Innovation’, is being developed
as a learning tool for schools, colleges and business, and will feature
many of the designs.
The latest list includes 201 services or products, on top of the 233
announced last year.
- What’s the Big Idea, a Marketing conference in association with the
Design Centre, on how to design and market world-beating products, takes
place at the Royal Festival Hall on June 8. For a programme call Faith
Manning on 0171 413 4390.
