Bill Moggridge Wins 2010 Prince Philip Design Prize
Design world visionary Bill Moggridge, who now serves as director of the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, has won the 2010 Prince Philip Designers Prize. Established in 1959 as “the Duke of Edinburgh’s Prize for Elegant Design” and administered by Britain’s Design Council, the annual award aims to celebrate “how designers improve daily life by solving problems and turning ideas into commercially successful reality.” Recent winners include James Dyson, Terence Conran, and Norman Foster.
“His phenomenal success is emblematic of the industrial designer’s skill in visualizing and giving form to intangible data and human sensations,” noted the Royal Society of Arts in nominating Moggridge for the prize, Britain’s longest-running design honor.
