NZ’s best designers – this is your moment!
Each year our furniture and homeware Design Awards – sponsored by our friends at Fisher & Paykel – celebrate the best work by New Zealand’s most talented designers.
Now we’re calling for entries for our Design Awards 2016. The winner and finalists will receive a $3000 Fisher & Paykel appliance of their choice, and be published online and in our magazine in early August. Entry details are at the bottom of this post.
A refresher: Last year’s winner was the beautiful ‘Torchon’ pendant light by Cheshire Architects for Resident.
The ‘Torchon’ is made in a fiery rush by glass artist Luke Jacomb in an unassuming little shed in west Auckland. You can see this amazing process this clip.
