As one of the most pioneering designers of the 20th century, Bill Moggridge has been central to how design makes technology make sense to the people who use it. In the late 1980s, he was a leading force in creating the discipline of interaction design, which has set the terms for how human beings engage with computers. Along the way, he designed the first laptop, the project which awakened his fascination with designing users’ interaction with software not just hardware.

In the early 1990s he co-founded the design agency IDEO, which has arguably become the blueprint for the international strategic creative agency.

Today, he makes a forceful educational contribution as Director of the Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum.

His phenomenal success is emblematic of the industrial designer’s skill in visualising and giving form to intangible data and human sensationsRoyal Society of Arts

Adrian Newey is a major British success story in the world of Formula 1. He has become the sport’s most respected engineering designer and aerodynamicist, with a string of achievements to his name. Not least among them has been that cars designed by Newey have won the Constructors’ Championship six times since 1991.

His constant appetite for new challenges means he has had success with Williams, McLaren and now Red Bull, which he joined when the team was founded in 2005. His innovations, such as the quick release drivers’ seat, hand-operated clutch, semi-automatic gearbox and fly-by-wire technology have improved both performance and safety across the sport.

One of the most influential designers of the last 40 years, Vivienne Westwood has embodied liberated, subversive and unexpected fashion design.

From rubberwear for the office to t-shirts with zips and holes, the Kings Road shop she ran with Malcolm Mclaren through the 1970s showcased what was newest, most original and most dangerous in British street culture. Her catwalk debut started the 80s New Romantic movement and ever since she has developed distinctive takes on traditional tailoring, British fabrics, haute couture and prêt-a-porter.

The queen of punk has contributed to education too, first at the Vienna Academy of Applied Arts and then as Honorary Senior Fellow of the Royal College of Art.

Vivienne Westwood is fearless, rebellious and ground-breaking. She has raised the international profile of British design way off the chartDesign Business Association

In his own words, John Makepeace has set out to extend the boundaries of function, structure and expression beyond what is ordinarily associated with furniture.

His design and manufacturing represent a meeting of classic and modern, embodying workmanship of the highest standard and championing sustainability. Each piece of furniture, standing alone or as part of a collection, is original and quintessentially English.

From the early 1960s he has helped to raise the profile of British furniture making and design beyond the role of reproducing traditional forms, creating a market for original design and craftsmanship.

His contribution to design education is also notable – in 1976 he set up his own college of furniture design and manufacture and has been sharing his design philosophy, production expertise and business insight with students ever since.

Nominated by the Royal Institute of British Architects

Eva Jiricna combines scientific training with form and function to bring the precision of engineering to the art of architecture.

Her work spans residential, commercial and retail as well as furniture, products, interiors and exhibitions. She works in steel, glass, wood and stone, eschewing ‘craft for craft’s sake’ and advancing modernist principles in work such as staircase at the V&A’s Bollinger Jewellery Gallery, the Orangery at Prague Castle, interiors at Richard Rogers’ Lloyds Building and retail schemes for Joseph and Kenzo . In scale, she ranges from the John Soane’s Museum exhibition case to the Millennium Dome Faith Zone.

She has always put more into architecture and design than she has taken outRoyal Institute of British Architects

Margaret Calvert’s work helps Britain get from A to B and back every day – and does it so well that it’s been taken for granted as part of our national furniture. With Jock Kinneir she created the signage system first for the motorways in the late 1950s and then for the rest of the road network. It went on to influence countless other systems worldwide with its clarity, rigour and elegance. It is still one of the most ambitious information design projects ever undertaken in Britain.

She also created labelling and signage systems for P&O, BAA and British Rail, as well as designing a sign in her own Calvert font at the Royal College of Art, where she was head of Graphic Design for many years.

Margaret Calvert’s contribution to how Britain looks and feels is enormous, yet it has never been sufficiently acknowledgedDesign Museum
