After Melbourne, Queensland and Tasmania‘s audiences of design lovers were treated to polytec’s 2017 awards night showcases of great design, Sydney was up next! For the Sydney leg of the polytec Design Awards, the quality of entrants was among the best yet, meaning awarding the gold to only three projects a tougher than ever prospect for the judges…
