Prince Philip Designers Prize 2011
Among the runners up this year was the co-designer of Anish Kapoor's 'Orbit' for London's 2012 Olympics, Cecil Balmond; environmental and exhibition designer Dinah Casson; and architects Chris Wilkinson OBE and Jim Eyre OBE. Meanwhile, architect Sir David Chipperfield and medical prosthetic designer Saeed Zahedi both received Special Commendations.
With this being the final year of The Duke of Edinburgh's involvement with the Prize, the Design Council marked his long contribution to the promotion of design with two gifts, presented to him at the ceremony. The first, was a hand-drawn certificate featuring a Quentin Blake cartoon of the Prince. The second was a one-off book of original artworks by past winners, nominees and judges, who were asked to produce a sketch illustrating what design means to them.
