London,
A new exhibition celebrates the world’s best-designed products, such as the Heinz tomato ketchup bottle.
Design Icons is a month-long collaboration between Harrods and the Design Museum Fifty classic products chosen by experts will be displayed at the Knightsbridge store, each with a quotation from its designer explaining the concept, until the end of next month.
They include Apple’s iPod, the Dyson vacuum, timeless toys including Etch-a-sketch and the yo-yo, the Coca-Cola bottle and a Kellogg’s Cornflakes box.
The museum, in Shad Thames, will host a series of lectures by industry experts including fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and Alastair Lansley, architect of St Pancras International station.
Graham Parker, head of creative direction at Harrods, said: “We enlisted our various department directors when compiling this list and there were some heated debates.
“All these products define their category. Whether it be the iPod or Rubik’s Cube, they have all redefined the way you look at something and have made people change their way of thinking.”
