Chair design wins 30-large and an “Ugliest” award
Posted in: Uncategorized
With her multi-layered Lepidoptera chair, Australian designer Simone LeAmon has won two very different awards: The Cicely & Colin Rigg Contemporary Design Award, and the Oops Design Award, which bills itself as the “First award in the world for bad product design.”
The former is a prestigious Australian design honor that comes with an AU $30,000 payout; the latter is conferred by designer Andrej Statskij, design journalist Magda Braun-Sommer and product design historian Adam Hoops, all of whom have collaborated to put up an interesting if slightly rabid website dedicated to calling out what they see as “bad product design.” Check ’em out here.
