The Staron® brand is about more than just their renowned Solid Surfaces material – the annual Staron® Design Awards, now in its ninth year, is a huge part of the architectural and design calendar. The Staron® Design Awards are open to any designer, architect, developer, kitchen/bathroom designer, student or any other designer who has created a design project that incorporates Staron® Solid Surfaces. The design awards have been designed to create exposure for students, designers and architects using Staron® in outstanding design.
The design versatility made possible by using Staron® is extensive, which makes for a varied and exciting competition in the awards. Across the globe, from small refits to large-scale projects by some of the world’s leading designers and architects, Staron Solid Surfaces have been put to great use.
The aim of the awards is to recognize and celebrate beautiful design from all levels – showcasing the breadth of design from a young designer’s passionate vision, up to experienced designers and architects who might have been in the business for years.
