The London Design Museum is to host a creative display featuring UK designers.

An exhibition entitled Design Cities is to be held at London's Design Museum later this year, it has emerged.

According to Design Week, the display will feature more than 100 pieces of creative work and will focus on seven cities at key points in the history of design.

London, Vienna and Los Angeles are among the cities represented by the display, which aims to tell the story of contemporary design.

The exhibition will be curated by Deyan Sudjic, with signage by Graphic Thought Facility.

Founder of Ben Kelly Design (BKD) Ben Kelly, whose work features in the display, said that the exhibits are a reflection of the event's transitory nature, since they will feature in other countries before arriving in England.

"[It] does not rely on the venues, because it will be moving from Istanbul to London. We have designed steel module island units that represent the cities and spread pools of light over the displays, while the gallery space is made darker," he said, according to Design Week.

Those wishing to see the exhibition can catch it between September 5th 2008 and January 4th 2009.

BKD was established in the mid 1970s and has designed temporary, permanent and touring exhibitions all over the world.
