Elliat Rich traveled to Sydney last week for the announcement of the winner and finalists of the 2007 Bombay Sapphire Design Discovery Award. The awards were presented by internationally acclaimed UK designer and architect Ron Arad at a special industry event on Tuesday night.
Kelly Freeman and Rina Bernabei of bernabeifreeman were presented with the overall award, receiving a $30,000 scholarship and trips to the Milan Furniture Fair in 2008 for their Totem lighting range.
Rich was named one of four finalists, the others being; Anthony Dann and Nick Rennie from Melbourne and Stefan Lie from Sydney. Each of the finalists received $2,500 and a share of the limelight.
“This has been a fantastic experience, I feel very fulfilled and have a lot more confidence in my practice. The feedback from the judging panel and my peers has been exceptionally positive and encouraging.”
The Bombay Sapphire Design Discovery Award is presented annually to recognize outstanding work by emerging designers who are seeking to expand their careers and are ready to be elevated to the next level.
