London's Barbican Centre are over 2,000 examples of the work of some of the young designers who will help shape our industrial future and influence the way we live.
But how well equipped are British industry and commerce to exploit the creative talents of our designers and craftsmen? Are the schools of art and design in touch with the needs of industry? And should we be concerned that many of our best young designers choose to work abroad?
Christopher Frayling , Professor of Cultural History at the Royal
College of Art, looks at the place of design and the designer in Britain today.
