Wallpaper* Design Awards 2012

Welcome to the eighth Wallpaper* Design Awards: our end-of-year celebration of the people, places and products that have lifted our spirits and made us realise that despite all the economic and political chaos around us – all’s not bad in the world.

Here on Wallpaper.com, as well as revealing our roll-call of the year’s best, we catch up with our esteemed panel of judges – all experts from the worlds of art, architecture, design and fashion - to find out what they were gunning for and why. Plus we take you behind-the-scenes of the shoot with fast-living Fiat heir Lapo Elkann, winner of our ‘best car collection’ award.
