News: Fripp are new money

By

Fripp Design, based at the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Rotherham has come up with a new design for money.



Last year they were approached by the Design Council to come up with a design for money, assuming money as we know it doesn't exist!

Fripp were one of two UK companies selected by the Design Council for their in house magazine.

The Colour of Money article looks at the rise of mobile commerce and debit cards and ponders whether we are moving to a cashless society.

Fripp's designs include "click", a fresh and modern design embedded with RFID tagging technology, and smooth, plastic anti-bacterial coins.


Fripp now intend to build on their ideas and submit designs to a future Design Council competition on mobile commerce.
