After winning the Design Museum's Design of the Year award in 2012 for their London 2012 Olympic Torch, designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby return to the museum for a show which presents their unique view on the production of everyday objects. The pair, who began working in their first studio in the Trellick Tower in 1997, were chosen to design the torch from submissions made by over 600 design agencies. In this Design Museum exhibition, visitors can explore the designers' multidisciplinary practice - they design everything from furniture and lighting to watering cans - and the way in which it challenges the boundaries of industrial design, architecture and art. Their work with manufacturers, engineers and factories is also examined as an integral part of their studio's award-winning projects.

Located on the banks of the Thames, the Design Museum has two floors and showcases contemporary design in all forms, including fashion, graphic and architectural. There are two main galleries, and the collections trace the history of design developments, from the origins of mass production to contemporary works. More about Design Museum
