Homes & Gardens Awards 2011
Published on:17/03/2011
All change for the Homes
& Gardens Awards with a new name – Designer Awards, a new format and a new
venue – The British Museum. No longer
solely focused on product design these awards now include categories for Kitchen,
Bathroom, Interior and Eco Design although there was a strong eco-theme running
throughout.
Rising stars Joe Burns and
Jamee Kong carried off the Bathroom and Kitchen Design awards respectively and
Kit Kemp was the winner of the Interior Design category. The audience rose to their feet for Kenneth
Grange the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award famous for the design of
a string of familiar products and brand names ranging from clothes irons,
washing machines, the Kenwood Chef, the Inter City 125 train and the innovative
1997 TX1 taxi!
