WOOD AWARDS: EXCELLENCE IN ARCHITECTURE & PRODUCT DESIGN WILL BE AT 100% DESIGN

At 100% Design 2015, some of the UK’s best new exclusive furniture and product designs in wood have been revealed as the Wood Awards’ shortlist is announced. Four bespoke designs, three production designs and three student designs have been selected by the judges led by Max Fraser, design curator and author.

Max Fraser comments: “It’s exciting to be part of this important awards process and even more exciting to see the extremely high quality of work that comes through. The UK is producing great design in wood, and this year all the judges were especially delighted to view work from the new student category.”

All of the shortlisted projects will be on display at 100% Design stand L614, 23rd-26th September at London Olympia. We let you know some pieces there will be on display:

Ves-el, Gareth Neal

Getting Away From It All, Sebastian Cox

Slatted Chair, Emma Leslie

The Wood Awards are the UK’s premier competition for excellence in architecture and product design in the world’s only naturally sustainable material. The Awards aim to recognise, encourage and promote outstanding design, craftsmanship and installation using wood.

During 100% Design there will be a twitter vote to determine the People’s Choice Award within the Student Designer Category. Vote for your favourite project by tweeting the name of the student project and the hashtag #WAStudent15 in 100% Design.
