The winners at the Lighting Design Awards 2011
Last night the best of the lighting industry joined together for a night of celebration at the London Hilton, Park Lane for the 2011 Lighting Design Awards.
Since their inception, the Lighting Design Awards have been at the heart of the industry calendar, shining a light on the most talented lighting designers and architects.
This year, the introduction of Dragon’s Den-style judging for the product categories created a new level of difficulty for those companies brave enough to enter. And, as ever, all of the shortlisted entries in the project categories were judged in situ. As a result, the winners could be in no doubt how hard the competition was, and why their work achieved the highest honour.
Ben Cronin, editor of Lighting commented: “The Lighting Design Awards continue to showcase the best of the lighting industry. This year the judges found it more difficult than ever to separate some extremely strong entries. We have been overwhelmed by the number and quality of the projects and products submitted this year, which speaks volumes for the health of the lighting industry.”
The awards proved to be a fantastic event. It was a night of firsts with everything from motorbikes on stage to the launch of the inaugural Lighting Design Photography Awards. Comedian Alun Cochrane gave a stirring performance as host for the evening and was there to present awards to each of the deserving winners.
The full list of winners can be found below.
