Over 90 contenders spread across seven categories were selected by a panel of industry experts.

The Design Museum's Designs of the Year award is in its sixth year and recognizes international talent in seven areas: Architecture, Digital, Fashion, Furniture, Graphics, Product, and Transport. The winners from each category and an overall winner will be crowned in April.

Veteran designer Zaha Hadid has been nominated twice this year for her work on the Galaxy Soho building in Beijing and the Liquid Glacial Table, which resembles running water. The late architect Louis Kahn, who passed away in 1974, has also been recognized for his work on Four Freedoms Park in New York, which was finally completed late last year.

Emerging designers have not been overlooked. Prototypes from the Varanasi Research Group's non-stick ketchup bottle and the Centre for Vision in the Developing World's self-adjustable glasses aimed at children with no access to opticians both made the shortlist.

The Design Museum will be showing all the nominated works in an upcoming exhibition opening in March.
