An exciting category at the Interior Awards comes in the form of the ‘Craftsmanship’ category – which recognises a bespoke object or solution created specifically for an interior project.

The Craftsmanship category can be entered by any New Zealand-based firm and entries are encouraged from individuals, groups, partnerships and those working in larger practices.

Seating solutions, wine racks and storage solutions, cabinetry, lighting accessories, door handles (and other such objects and solutions) will all be accepted as entries, as long as they are unique, one-off solutions to a specific project.

Last year’s winner was Powersurge Metalworks for a carefully detailed response to a very difficult client brief for bespoke wine racks integrated into a historic building. The Powersurge solution called for two floor-to-ceiling parallel structures constructed from highly tensioned stainless steel wire. Allusions to the restaurant’s maritime location, decorative touches to functional mechanisms and a thorough familiarity with its materials (their possibilities and limits) made this an “inventive, well thought-out and elegantly executed” piece.

The 2015 Craftsmanship Award winner will receive a bespoke trophy as well as coverage in the winter (June) issue of Interior magazine and recognition across AGM’s digital platforms and relevant industry magazines.
