Wallpaper* Design Awards 2015

published 22 January 2015

After the heated debates cooled and the votes had been counted it was time to pin the medals on the 2015 design heroes. And just in case you missed our January 2015 issue, here’s the shortlist for our extra-special Judges’ Awards and jury of the peerless and precocious. Our panel deliberated over 11 special awards, selected from a shortlist put together by Team Wallpaper*. To celebrate our cross-disciplinary star chamber, we turned the tables on the sagacious six who sat in judgement - and the winners they championed - in head-spinning fashion, as captured by filmmaker and photographer Matthew Donaldson.
