Dulux Let's Colour Awards 2015

Last week I was lucky enough to attend the awards ceremony of the Dulux Let's Colour Awards 2015 at The Magazine Restaurant in Hyde Park. It's a fantastic venue, designed by Zaha Hadid, and the buildings sinuous white ceiling looked beautiful illuminated with coloured lights in honour of the event.

Somehow we managed to end up sat on the front row, in very distinguished company, and right in front of the podium where Deyan Sudjic, director of the Design Museum was presenting the awards. Naturally, I was more than a little star struck and excited to see my own name and artwork popping up on the screen as a nominee in the Young Designer category. And the winners that evening were...

Best Use of Colour in Homes & Interiors - Raw Edges, The Lake Collection
Best Use of Colour in the Arts - Dan Tobin Smith, First Law of Kipple
Best Use of Colour in Fashion & Beauty - Psychedelic Clothesline
Colour Innovation in Technology & Design - Plastique Fantastique & Marco Barotti, Sound of Light
Best Use of Colour in Commercial Architecture & Buildings - Aberrant Architecture, Rosemary Works School

Colour Moment of the Year - Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red

It was a really impressive line up of nominees and winners and I feel very grateful to count myself among them! Well done to everyone involved, it is so refreshing to see such a variety of different people and industries brought together by one common element, colour.
