We saw some really new and exciting concepts but the winning entry really stood out to the entire judging panel as fresh, classy, inventive." Lori Pinkerton-Rolet, BIDA, IIDA, Chairman

'This fantastic competition recognises and rewards the up-and-coming talent in residential interior design. This is an industry that is notoriously difficult to break into, so what could be a better prize than a showcase in the year's most exciting event, 100% Design? As a profession, interior design is gaining both momentum and credibility, so it is really gratifying that we can offer a chance to shine to a new generation of interior designers.' Kate Burnett, idFX

In Association with Max Wigram Gallery

Jun 05 2008

Max Wigram Gallery in Association with Londonewcastle are pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Marinne Hugonnier.

Since 2001 Hugonnier's practice has reconsidered the phenomenal world as a cultural construct, exploring how our visual apprehension of it is subject to ideological, political and physical positioning. In this show photography, film and works on paper are presented within the broader systems of signification drawn from her anthropological studies. This exhibition weaves together journeys – through literary images, geographical locations, the history of a given artwork, or to the origin of a cinematic style.
