The 2012 London Olympic Games may have been mostly about the blood, sweat and tears of the athletes, but making waves in the world of design was Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby's flaming torch which won the prestigious Design of the Year award in 2012. Its trilateral form was developed to signify a pattern of trinities in the history of the Olympics, and the games' motto: Faster, Higher, Stronger. Imprinted by lasers, the torch's 8,000 circles create a transparency which gives onlookers a glimpse into the heart of the fire.
