Winner
Fragments of Liberty By Claire Coles at Cho Cho San Wallcoverings by Claire Coles represent both a refinement of walls and of the art of collage. Coles stitches together various patterns and media new and old, creating intricate, layered surfaces that combine texture, colour and composition. Here, vintage wallpaper and leather create delicate floral patterns that seem to be sown, grow, blossom and flourish on a fertile (paper) soil. Judges’ comments include: ‘Love it!’, ‘Would love to commission her!’, and ‘Wow! - Intricate and arousing.’

Concrete Rug Tiles By Eileen Elliott at Cho Cho San Handprinted with images of kilim and Persian rugs, Eileen Elliott’s concrete floor tiles are a bold combination of opposites. The weight and austerity of polished concrete is balanced by delicate patina on its surface, a subtle texture that seems almost ephemeral atop the most solid of surfaces. ‘Beautiful, subtle,’ said the judges, and: ‘So clever, interesting, stylish.’

Stone Radiators By Marble Heating Co Stone radiators are a result of modern scientific advances, combined with ancient knowledge of using natural stones as heating elements. Heat accumulates below the surface of the stone and is radiated evenly in all directions. Convection, where the ceiling gets warmest first, is almost entirely avoided. The radiators can be made into any shape, with different finishes and 30 different colours. The judges responded to the happy marriage of technology and style: ‘Elegant, new and unusual.’

Georgian Townhouse by John Minshaw Designs An 18th-century townhouse in the heart of London’s medical district, formerly a dentist’s surgery, was converted back to single occupancy, retaining only the front and rear facade and orignal staircases. Ensuring that the property’s former grand proportions were restored by maximising light, using oversized furniture and selecting antiques, the designer has allowed the architecture of the building to speak for itself. ‘A sympathetic restoration,’ said the judges: ‘Elegant and unfussy with a great sense of period.’

Perching Barn By Acres Wild The brief was to supply a ‘contemporary country’ setting for this newly converted West Sussex barn and enhance the views into the garden from the house, whilst considering issues of exposure to the south-west wind and of privacy. An existing farm pond was to be enlarged and a decorative Koi pond created. Intelligent planting and use of shrubs and trees creates four distinctive areas of the garden which are perfect for the barn and sit well in the existing countryside.

Chanel New York Flagship Store By Peter Marino and Associates The objectives of this expansion and re-design were to increase retail space by 50 per cent, to embody the artisan tradition of Chanel and to parallel the technical and inventive feeling of the newest retail products.

Inspired by the Chanel No. 5 perfume box, the materials palette is classic ivory and black with woven silver panels and dramatic lighting. The store is designed to lead the shopper on a journey through luxurious artisan materials such as gold aluminium leaf, irridescent ivory textured plaster and white hand-woven leather walls.

Amaya By dpa lighting consultants The designers were asked to offer ideas that showed broad thinking, coordinating with the interior and exterior fabric of Masala World’s most notable restaurant to date.

The main emphasis is the open show kitchen, which is given a focus as the source of drama and theatre in the space. The ‘high table’ and ‘party table’ are given accented treatments, while another ‘layer’ of lighting is provided by candles on walls and in niches to make intimate groupings.

John Minshaw John Minshaw Designs John Minshaw has received the Designer of the Year Award in recognition of his masterly restoration of a late 18th Century Georgian town house. Two years ago this building was a decaying warren of dental consulting rooms and pokey accommodation. Today it is a gracious family home incorporating a spacious design studio and office. John has retained the house’s period integrity and negotiated planning and English Heritage constraints yet created a classic interior of great elegance; combinig neoclassical disciplines with the most advanced technology and materials.

Winner
David Easton Though David Easton, one of the world’s most sought-after interior designers, has made his name as a neo-classicist, his erudition and experience in architecture and decoration are wide ranging and continually developing. He studied architecture at the Pratt Institute, graduating in 1963 and taking a Fontainebleau scholarship to travel and study in Europe. Having been ‘seduced by decoration’ at Parish-Hadley, he started his own interior design firm in 1972 and quickly gained recognition for his classically inspired, traditional interiors. In recent years he has shifted towards a more streamlined, contemporary aesthetic. ‘It’s necessary to move forward,’ he says. ‘I see a desire to simplify life, and for simpler interiors. I think the future will be about a more intelligent use of resources and a more intelligent support of lifestyles.’ Design & Decoration Awards 2005 47
