Designer Rugs are proud to launch the inaugural EVOLVE Awards - A design competition like no other! and the International School of Colour and Design is even prouder to announce three of the top 25 semi-finalist designs to be from graduates of the school Jo Mitton and Robyn Hammond.

An inspiration from knitting. Colourful horizontal lines created by large timber needles, then stretched to create a loose knit row allowing the background colour to shine through.

 

Six winning designs will be made into rugs and will form part of Designer Rugs' ID COLLECTION 2010/2011. Entries are closed and official voting ends November 2010 but recently released were the Top 25 Designs, Peoples Choice Awards.

Based on working with federation fireplaces featuring colourful tiles on surroundings with elaborate pressed metal boarders.

 

A collection of over 850 designs were entered from full time professional architects, interior designers and interior design industry professionals in Australia and New Zealand. Not only will the winning rugs be made up and put in as part of Designer Rugs ID collection, the designers will go in the running for more than $20,000 in prizes, including a trip to Milan Salone de Mobile 2011!

 

The judging panel for 2010 includes;

* Sibella Court : Society Inc. retailer, internationally renowned interior stylist, author and colour consultant.

* Shareen Joel: Interior architect and industrial designer.

* Matthew Sheargold: interior designer and product designer.

* Stephen Ormandy: Co-Director, Dinosaur Designs and artist.

* Eli Tal: Chairman, Designer Rugs.

* Yosi Tal: Managing Director, Designer Rugs.

A circular design based on the passionflower motif. Delicate in appearance, yet features strong stamens along with waxy stiff petals.

 

Robyn Hammond now has her own Colour Consulting busniess. We were lucky enough to catch her and get a few words around her shortlisted design;

"We were offered an informative evening to get a briefing on the requirements of the design awards, and part of this was a viewing of the styles and designs previously made by Designer Rugs. I immediately noticed a lack of circular design rugs so intentionally stuck with this unique dimension. I wanted to keep the colourway simple so that it would appeal to a wider range of people, especially those with quite neutral homes. I found the whole experience from entering right to the design process very enjoyable!"

 

 We wish Jo and Robyn the best of luck in the final stages of judging!
