We're calling for entries for our Design Awards 2012, which close on Tuesday April 17, 2012 at 5pm.
In the Design Awards 2012 we’re looking for the most exciting new furniture and objects for the home. This includes ceramics, glassware and tableware or any similar item that can be displayed and used in the home. Entries are welcome from established artists and designers as well as newcomers to the field.
Entrants must submit up to five images (from a variety of angles) of the furniture or home objects they have designed, and a 250-word statement about the project and its designers. We’ll also choose a Young Designer of the Year from entrants whose work was completed during a tertiary design course in 2011.
We're honoured to have Christian Rasmussen, creative director for Fritz Hansen, judging the awards this year. He will also be giving an exclusive talk in Auckland this May, in association with HOME New Zealand and Corporate Culture. For details on his talk see our previous post.
