A total of 76 projects have been nominated for the 2019 Beazley Designs of the Year. The shortlist features many innovative ideas, including a futuristic concept for a car that flies with the help of a drone, an expandable events building, and an easy to use HIV test for developing countries.

The projects are divided into six categories: Architecture, Digital, Fashion, Graphics, Product, and Transport. Each will be on display until February 9, 2020, in the London Design Museum.

In the coming weeks, a winner will be chosen from each category and then an overall winner will be announced on November 21. Previous winners have included Ghanian British architect Sir David Adjaye's superb National Museum of African American History and Culture, and Ikea's Better Shelter.

We've highlighted some standouts below, but head to the gallery to see a selection of projects shortlisted for the 2019 Beazley Designs of the Year.
