description	Given the current discussion about the value of arts education and its importance to the UK, the timing could hardly be better: Lund Humphries is publishing a collection of 30 projects from the Royal College of Art's Helen Hamlyn Centre, the groundbreaking research unit dedicated to inclusive design. If you don't know its work, here's the potted history. In 1986, the Boilerhouse Gallery at the V&A (which was the precursor to the Design Museum) held an exhibition called New Design for Old. Its curators, Helen Hamlyn and Elizabeth Henderson, had asked 14 well-known designers to reimagine everyday products in a way that made them easier for older people to use. Hamlyn had been inspired to organise the show because of her own struggles to find suitable products to help her elderly mother remain independent. She then used her charitable foundation to fund Design Age, a research unit at her former college, the RCA, which launched in 1991.
