Design-Nation: future thinking for design & craft

Design-Nation is a portfolio of some of the most acclaimed and innovative designers and craftspeople from across the UK.

News update 21 March 2024. We have over thirty new members – cause for celebration. Check out these brilliant talents here. And if you missed us at Collect, our showcases site carried the digital legacy. Next up is Craftworks, during London Craft Week in May.

Support Us. Design-Nation was founded in the 90s and today, nearly 25 years on, we continue to champion excellence in craft, design and product, delivering programmes that empower designer-makers to build, sustain and develop innovative creative and business practices. As we look ahead to the next 25 years, we invite patrons of craft and design to support us to champion future design and craft talent.

Join Us. And if you’re interested in taking your creative practice to the next level, our next membership intake will be in June, find out more about joining us here.
