WIN Awards 2016 - Furniture Category: Desk Two by Another Country (London, United Kingdom)
This generous, executive-style desk elegantly displays the clean lines and contrasting woods (solid Ash and Walnut) of Another Country's Series Two collection with a nod toward mid-century sensibilities. Series Two pieces including this desk are functional, timeless, versatile and inspired by the no-nonsense style of Japanese and Scandinavian furniture and the pale woods favoured in contemporary Belgian craft production.
‘Desk Two takes a very modern look at the desk; It has a pared down, Nippon Scandia’ appearance to it. A great use of materials and excellent craftsmanship come together in this piece and will stand the test of time in any environment.’ SB

WIN Awards 2016 - Furniture Category: Joist Table by Daniel Schofield Design (London, United Kingdom)
The construction of Joist Table reflects the way timber floor joists fit into structural steelwork – the Ash legs fit into the beam and two bolts on the underside of the legs pull into each other through the beam, holding the structure together and giving it its strength. The glass then rests on top located on silicone pads to stop any movement.
This allows for efficient shipping, easy assembly, great strength and a conservative use of materials whilst maintaining a clean and understandable construction narrative.
‘A really clever, simple and scalable design that unusually adds something fresh to the world of tables. The constructional method leads into the design which is a nice touch as there is no conflict between how it’s made and how it looks. When those things come together it’s unusual and often leads to something becoming a classic.’ JT

WIN Awards 2016 - Furniture Category: New Collection 2016 by Tom Raffield (Helston, United Kingdom)
With an experimental workshop set among 6 acres of ancient woodland in Cornwall, England, Tom Raffield’s lighting and furniture designs are synonymous with nature; each product is hand-shaped using sustainable wood and created as sculptural pieces of art using a pioneering form of steam-bending.
Coinciding with an outstanding and well-received appearance on Channel 4’s Grand Designs and retail exclusive collections for John Lewis and Heal’s, the launch of Tom Raffield's new collection of lighting and furniture in autumn 2016 marks an exciting new chapter for the brand.
‘Tom’s work has taken a traditional technique and revived it by pushing it forward into the future. Some of the details of his steam-bending work really well both functionally and visually, especially on pieces like his mirror.’ DZ

WIN Awards 2016 - Furniture Category: WW Chair by H Furniture (London, United Kingdom)
The two Ws in the chair’s name stand for Windsor and Wire, which allude to its form and materials. It’s a hybrid piece, which gives a contemporary twist to a traditional design language.
The legs and seat are inspired by the classic lines of a Windsor chair, with the surface of the seat slightly carved for comfort. Shafts of 5mm powder coating metal wire extend upwards from below the seat. They fan slightly outwards from their point of origin before meeting the wooden backrest. This gives the chair a sculptural quality and sense of lightness. The playful juxtaposition of materials is typical of its designers, the multi-disciplinary design studio Hierve.
‘The WW Chair is the perfect balance between referencing traditional architypes and modern methods and materials, making it feel at home in both traditional and contemporary interiors with a bright pop of colour.’ JT

WIN Awards 2016 - Furniture Category: Parentesit by Arper (London, United Kingdom)
Designed by Lievore Altherr Molina, Parentesit is an acoustic wall module that reduces extraneous background noise and creates a space for concentration, offering comfort for contemporary shared spaces. The bold, graphic forms are available in three shapes that can be further customised with the addition of a speaker or ambient light.
Arper has extended the functionality of Parentesit to include freestanding models for increased privacy and comfort. Architectural in scale, these modules carve out a three-dimensional space for concentration or quiet conversation in shared workspaces or collaborative environments. Modular by design, each screen can be combined to realise new spatial compositions that reinforce or distinguish it from its architectural environment.
‘I think this is an example of where designers have looked at the problem, taken it back to first principals, worked through and come up with something that is attractive, original and flexible’. JM

WIN Awards 2016 - Surface & Interior Accessories Category: The Murano Collection by BDSR Design Stone Research (Vicenza, Italy)
BDSR breathed new life into historic Italian materials such as the Tuscany hand-made terracotta and Venetian Murano glass that combined with natural stones creates a stunning new generation of decorative slabs featuring a unique dual aesthetic. The result is a three-dimensional surface with grazing light of Murano glass in relief, that remains monochrome if not backside-illuminated, creating a harmonious play of curved surface.
‘The Murano Collection of wall panels reveal a really lovely, historic technique that plays with light, texture, colour and form – an unusual combination that would be nice to both look at and touch.’

WIN Awards 2016 - Surface & Interior Accessories Category: My Country Collection by Bay Gallery Home (Tetbury, United Kingdom)
Bay Gallery Home’s My Country range of tiles, wallpapers and rugs is a true embodiment of Art in the everyday. Drawing upon the British manufacturing industry, its pioneering translations of authentic Central Australian Aboriginal artwork to interior surface and accessories are expanding the global awareness of this ancient culture, whilst providing additional revenue streams to its communities.
Its sophisticated visual language is composed of layers of regular irregularities of colour, geometry, repetition and scale dynamics. These abstractions and their visual coherence are perfect foils for modern minimalist forms as well as the more eclectic schemes.
‘A fantastic example of the nice face of globalization as well as something that the jury would like to have in their own homes.’ JT

WIN Awards 2016 - Surface & Interior Accessories Category: World Woven by Interface (London, United Kingdom)
Given the hectic nature of modern life, designers are increasingly looking to source uncomplicated materials that add a simple, hand-crafted feel to commercial interiors. World Woven is the perfect tool for this – weaving together modern sensibilities with memories of some of the most enduring textiles of the past.
The collection takes inspiration from exclusive Interface product designer David Oakey’s memories of the British countryside, traditions and culture from his childhood.
‘I really admire Interfaces’ mission and their commitment to producing their products from 100% recycled materials. They are trying to bring a bit more softness and human touch to commercial flooring without compromising on design.’ DZ

WIN Awards 2016 - Surface & Interior Accessories Category: Husk Collection by Sonite Innovative Surfaces Co., Ltd (Bangkok, Thailand)
Created with discarded outer shells from rice milling, Sonite’s new Husk mosaics and solid surfaces incorporate nearly one-fourth recycled agricultural waste. The collection’s advanced bio-composite design yields coverings not only beautiful but also highly durable and extraordinarily lightweight – all traits for which Sonite materials are renowned. Husk is available in four organic tones, each striking an ideal balance between natural warmth and contemporary chic.
‘Husk Collection presents the interesting development of recycling agricultural waste for the core material of an entirely new surface collection. As the material is thin and lightweight, this enables an easy installation of mosaic techniques.’ SB

WIN Awards 2016 - Surface & Interior Accessories Category: STACtile_Concrete, Stone & Wood by STAC Architecture (London, United Kingdom)
STAC has developed a modular tile for use as wall cladding in large feature walls, which when installed creates a multitude of patterns and effects simply by STACing, shifting or rotating it. It’s a tactile, contemporary cladding solution that is brought to life through light.
STAC wanted the tile to embody pure geometries that when put together could create patterns that were both elegant & timeless. Simple in concept and elegant in execution, STACtile is being mass produced in a single form, but multiple colours and finishes allow it to be arranged in an endless array of patterns & designs.
‘I like the STACtile very much because of its simplicity. From one shape there is a huge variety of patterns that can be arranged along with a mix of colours thus allowing for almost infinite flexibility.’ JM

WIN Awards 2016 - Surface & Interior Accessories Category: Elements Collection by Tania Johnson Design (London, United Kingdom)
Recently launched at Decorex, the Elements collection of hand knotted rugs has been over two years in the designing and making. Hand made in Nepal, each rug is translated into wool and silk from Tania’s own photographs of light, shadows and reflections.
The six new designs in the collection; Dots, Forest, Rays, Stream, Sunlight and Tide all portray these elements of light and shadow in impressionistic detail.
‘This collection works for me because rugs often receive light and this design plays on that. I’d like to think that you would take a second look and think ‘is that light, or is that pattern’? The sheer quality of the craftsmanship is also highly commendable.’ JT
