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.’ Design & Decoration Awards 2005 11 Finalists Little Butler by Avilion Ltd The Single Kitchen by Alberto Colonello for Boffi +Integration by Poggenpohl Moebelwerke Fine Contemporary Cutlery by CGA Design Kitchen Product Design Sponsored by Gaggenau 12 Design & Decoration Awards 2005 Winner Minimal By Varenna at Poliform This sleek kitchen features beautiful aesthetics, distinct details and integrated handles.

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.’ Design & Decoration Awards 2005 15 Finalists Wet Room Floor System by Solidity Ltd Serenis Shower Enclosure by Pearson-Lloyd for Ideal Standard PH-Washbasin by Piero Lissoni for Boffi Xenon Thermostatic Shower by Samuel Heath & Sons Bathroom Product Design 16 Design & Decoration Awards 2005 Winner 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.’ Design & Decoration Awards 2005 17 Finalists Tobago from Caribe by Zoffany Space Heater by Product Resolutions Ltd Baroque Collection by Cast Design Hello Stranger Bench by Citysquared Outdoor Product Design Sponsored by Chelsea Harbour Design Centre Chelsea Harbour Design Centre 18 Design & Decoration Awards 2005 Winner Cantilever seat By Citysquared Developed as part of a wider collection of contemporary furniture for gardens and public spaces, Cantilever provides garden designers and landscape designers with a fresh take on architectural furniture.

On the one hand it is classicality, richness and tradition – and on the other it is innovation, transparency and irony. A special coupling system allows it to be set at three heights, to be used as a desk, table or bedside lamp. ‘Fab value!,’ said the judges, and another ‘I love it!’ Design & Decoration Awards 2005 23 Finalists Pebbles Brown Rug by Allegra Hicks for The Rug Company Algue by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec for Vitra Oak Leaf by Deirdre Dyson Contemporary Carpets Follies by Nina Campbell Object of Desire Sponsored by The World of Interiors 24 Design & Decoration Awards 2005 Winner New Fine Bone China Collection By Jasper Conran for Wedgwood Building on the pure shapes of his original collection, Jasper Conran has added fun and a decorative element to an already successful range. Anticipating the use of more colour in our homes, Jasper has created five new ranges: Platinum Stripe/Band, Colours, Green Chinoiserie and White Chinoiserie. ‘Wedgwood’s traditional delicacy and elegance well reflected,’ thought the judges, ‘in dense, modern, vibrant colours.’ Design & Decoration Awards 2005 25 Finalists House Biddle Cursi by Peerutin Architects Manhattan Pied-a-Terre by Morris Sato Studio ‘Having fun in Knightsbridge’ by Rabih Hage Ferme de Moudon by Nicky Dobree Interior Design Modern Residential Interior Sponsored by Poliform 26 Design & Decoration Awards 2005 Winner Apartment overlooking the Bosphorus By Zeynep Fadillioglu Design The astonishing view of the Bosphorus, where eastern and western cultures come together, is the focal point of this living space. The house’s unique location has influenced the design to combine antiques and modern art in a fusion reminiscent of the culture of Istanbul itself. The use of materials, furniture and natural light makes this an outstanding project with a contemporary and comfortable feel – according to the client’s request, a sophisticated and personal space created through distinguished design. Design & Decoration Awards 2005 27 Finalists Private Residence by Richard Shapiro 129 Park Lane by Johnston Stewart Interior Design Wycombe Square by Helen Green Design Classical Residential Interior Sponsored by Colefax & Fowler 28 Design & Decoration Awards 2005 Winner 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.’ Design & Decoration Awards 2005 29 Finalists Staircase for Mr and Mrs G-D by Marquis et François Wanscow Walk by Goodchild Interiors Library by John Minshaw Designs Bathroom for Mr & Mrs D Jones by Elsie Wood Interiors Single Room Interior Sponsored by Gaggenau 30 Design & Decoration Awards 2005 Winner Kitchen in the Biddle Cursi House By Kitchen Clinic and Peerutin Architects The brief was to create a kitchen as the key entertainment and living area which would blend with the glorious setting. The interior space moves effortlessly into the extensive sea and mountain views. The kitchen offers simplicity, functionality, practicability – and, above all, glamour, highlighting the fact that kitchens are for so much more than cooking.

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.

Inspired by the Chanel No. 5 perfume box, the materials palette is classic ivory and black with woven silver panels and dramatic lighting.

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.

Using vibrant colours and unusual techniques, mingling the sophisticated with the sexy, they create pieces that become the focal point of any and every room. Most of the items are purchased at auction houses and antique markets, so everything is an original and can be tailored to suit the customer. Most pieces have been finished off with an image or paint effect hand painted directly on to the furniture or fabric. ‘We provide an eclectic showcase of one-off pieces, combining the decadent and quirky with the nostalgic and urban,’ says ex-model Karlsson. Commissions include a bar and chairs for Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, work for private clients and a selection in the new fashion/interior boutique Weardowney. Design & Decoration Awards 2005 43 The House & Garden Designer of the Year 44 Design & Decoration Awards 2005 Winner 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. Sue Crewe, Editor, House & Garden Design & Decoration Awards 2005 45 The House & Garden Lifetime Achievement Award 46 Design & Decoration Awards 2005 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
