Cockatoo Island plays host to The IDEA Awards
December 6th, 2007
The annual IDEA Awards were presented in an extravagant ceremony in Sydney in November.
An initiative of Inside Magazine, and sponsored by Corporate Culture and InterfaceFLOR, the awards night attracted over 600 members of Australia’s design community to Cockatoo Island for the event.
Guests were entertained by theatrical performance artists in a dark, themed venue which made for a memorable night.
Celebrating excellence in Australian interior design, The IDEA Awards were presented in several categories, with Carr Design taking home the coveted award for Design Practice of the Year.
