Sustainable and innovative design practices have led the way at the biennial Premier’s Design Awards in 2008.
The awards, which recognise the very best of Victorian design practice, were
presented at a gala event which took place lastnight at the Melbourne Museum (July 16).
Twenty eight Premier’s Design Marks were awarded in 10 categories with the winners representing designers and practices that have responded to the new more demanding market conditions, producing exemplary approaches and outcomes that are a contribution to a sustainable future.
The 2008 Premier’s Design Marks were selected by a panel comprising local, national and international judges, each a leader in their design field.
The Premier’s Design Awards exhibition will also create a stand-alone display to show the work of the 28 Premier’s Design Mark recipients throughout the Festival, opening on the evening of the 16th July at Melbourne Museum.
