Having helped to judge the Dulux Let’s Colour Awards in November, I was honoured when Dulux asked me to present the award to the Best Young Designer – Kit Miles. The ceremony was held at Zaha Hadid’s Magazine Restaurant at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery and hosted by Design Museum director Deyan Sudjic. It was so lovely to see Kit’s face when I announced his name – what a wonderful way to recognise someone’s work at such an early stage in their career.
2015 Dulux Let’s Colour Awards, November 2014
I was invited to nominate two rising stars for the newly created category of “Young Designer” in the Dulux 2015 Let’s Colour Awards, and also to join the overall judging panel. It was a really interesting day, full of feisty debate with industry experts. All the categories were hotly contested and the results are announced on 27 April 2015, so watch this space!
