Those of you that keep a close eye on the world of design will know that Andrew Ritchie has just been awarded the 2009 Prince Philip Designers Prize for his work on the Brompton folding bicycle. Our very own design-conscious Rob Leach was at Buckingham Palace on the 15th October to see him receive his award because we’ve been collaborating with the Design Council to produce a film that celebrates the 50th anniversary of this prestigious design award.
Working with the designer, Adrian Westaway, who presents the film, our production team spent an epic 24 hours zooming around London, shooting in locations including the Brompton bicycle factory at Kew, the Royal Festival Hall, Charing Cross underground station, Habitat on Tottenham Court Road and the Paddington Waterside development.
Take a look at the film itself to learn about the significance of these sites.
We’ve also edited and post-produced Kevin McCloud’s interview with HRH Prince Philip in which they discuss his passion for design and his commitment to the awards. You can see this interview on YouTube or on the Design Council’s own website.
