The Prince Philip Designers Prize — in its 50th year

Over the past 50 years Britain has moved to not only embrace but also to export and celebrate contemporary design. There have been many standard bearers and champions: curators, journalists, shop-owners, the Design Council, and not least the designers themselves. There is, however, one particularly significant advocate, a man who rails against poorly designed consumer goods, who has acted as a catalyst between industry and designers, and who has a rare perspective on half a century of British culture, promoting engineering and industrial design as much as graphics, and automotive and product styling: the Duke of Edinburgh.
