WINNER
Hamish Southcott, NZ, First Light
This is a striking sculptural
piece, very unique and full of movement. I particularly like the way the light plays in the sculpted fins. I can imagine enjoying this light every time I turned it on, stellar work! − Phoebe Everill
A highly innovative design that could be installed in a variety of locations, both residential and commercial. Consideration for timber as a precious resource
is evident by the utilisation of recycled timber and would appeal to the conscious consumer. Lifecycle of the light has been considered by allowing for possible future repairs and/or relocation. A beautiful piece that could be imagined into a range based on this design theme.

RUNNER-UP
Vince Rush, Remembering Neil
A high level of skill is required to make an object of such
great beauty. Great thought was given to the selection of timbers, the jacaranda lending an ethereal quality to the container. The delicacy and sensitivity of this design reveals the respect for the person this is dedicated to, and the heart that went into the realisation of this project. − Melissa Ward
This piece for me has a very ethereal feel to it, beautifully designed and planned and then exquisitely executed. The timber choice of jacaranda is pivotal to the success of this piece as there is a ghostly feel about it. − Phoebe Everill
