V&A Channel

Editor's Note

V&A Channel's investigation into the subject of British Design takes inspiration from the Olympics – specifically the passing of the Olympic flame. Watch the film to see Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, Margaret Calvert, Graphic Thought Facility, Kenneth Grange and Thomas Heatherwick talking about their work and the significance of British design.

The Spring 2012 issue of V&A Magazine is dedicated to British design and the V&A’s exhibition on the subject, and carries a spectacular image of an icon of British design on its cover – Concorde. The shot was taken by the highly acclaimed architectural photographer Hélène Binet, and V&A Channel attended the shoot day at Brooklands Museum in Surrey to capture the action.
