Award of Merit:

DesignByThem for August Lounges by Gibson Karlo

Locally made, The August Collection by DesignByThem results from a close collaborative relationship between the design team and the craftspeople involved in making them.

DesignByThem provides a Product Stewardship Program for designs within the collection. This approach should be more commonplace within all design professions to encourage responsible practices at the end of a product's life or for used products.
