Winners of the 2022 London Design Medals revealed

London Design Festival has announced the winners of the 2022 London Design Medals.

The winners are:

• London Design Medal: Sandy Powell OBE
• Design Innovation Medal: Indy Johar
• Emerging Design Medal: Joycelyn Longdon
• Lifetime Achievement Medal: Sir Don McCullin CBE

Each year, London Design Festival recognises the contribution made by leading design figures and emerging talents to London and the industry with the four London Design Medal awarded.

A panel of established designers, industry commentators and previous winners meet to debate and judge the possible recipients of the four Medals. This year’s jury members included: Ozwald Boateng OBE, Sarah Douglas, Ben Evans CBE, Tristram Hunt, Domenic Lippa, Jay Osgerby OBE, Justine Simons OBE, Sir John Sorrell CBE, Paul Thompson and Jane Withers.

This year’s winners will receive their Medals at an awards ceremony on the evening of Thursday 22 September 2022 at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, supported by Fortnum & Mason.

Ben Evans CBE, London Design Festival Director, said: “Every year, the London Design Medal jury select four individuals who have made a significant contribution to the design industry. This year's winners are representative of the breadth of design as a discipline.

“The 2022 Awards celebrate the often overlooked discipline of costume design, explores how design can help shape the way we view the world, and shines a light on redesigning the bureaucratic and institutional infrastructure of our cities and how we talk about climate change.”
