Product design exhibition Made in Sheffield will showcase region’s talent

The exhibition is curated by Museums Sheffield and will feature innovations such as the world’s fastest gravity-powered sled and 3D-printed prosthetic limbs. The exhibition celebrates over 150 Sheffield-born companies through a range of inventive and visually striking displays.

The Made in Sheffield exhibition forms part of The Year of Making – a city-wide initiative celebrating Sheffield’s international reputation – and is running between 6 July 2016 and 8 January 2017. Entry is free.

“Made in Sheffield will shine a spotlight on the diverse ideas, developments, products and progress that see makers and businesses in the city at the top of their field.” says Kim Streets, chief executive at Museums Sheffield.

I think that is great that Sheffield are showing off the talent of the local people and I am definitely going to try and attend to see the great range of design presented at the exhibition. It is important for me to see what people are designing and really get a feel for the issues people are designing for.
