The Evolve Awards is a design competition open to the architecture and design professions. Six winners will share more than $20,000 in prizes, including a trip to Milan’s Salone de Mobile 2011.
The selected six rugs, each limited to an edition of 30, will join Designer Rugs ID COLLECTION, on sale from October 2010.
Interior architect Shareen Joel, designer Matthew Sheargold, Stephen Ormandy from Dinosaur Designs, Sibella Court and Designer Rugs managing director Yosi Tal, will judge the designs.
Registrations open on Thursday 14 January at www.designerrugs.com.au. To be eligible, entrants must be an Australian or New Zealand architect, interior designer or interior design industry professional — including those working full time as an interior stylist, product designer, or textile designer or working in the interior design sector, such as colour consultants.
Evolve workshops, held in most capital cities, will also explore the design and construction process of custom rug and carpet construction. The aim of these sessions is to equip design professionals with technical knowledge and provide advanced specification details to facilitate the design process.
Workshops will be web streamed via the Designer Rugs website for those unable to attend.
