Bisley to host the Design Guild Mark 2018 award ceremony Apr 24, 2018| Prix We were over the moon when our MultiDrawer was awarded a Design Guild Mark last year, and we’re delighted to once again be involved with this prestigious accolade during Clerkenwell Design Week. On Tuesday 22 May, our new Dallington Street showroom will host the Design Guild Mark award ceremony, when the fifteen deserving recipients will receive their certificates and the Jonathan Hindle Prize will be presented for this year’s most outstanding design. The Design Guild Mark is awarded by The Furniture Makers’ Company, a City of London livery company and the furnishing industry’s charity. The Mark recognises the highest standards in the design of furnishings in volume production by the finest designers working in Britain, or British designers working abroad. The panel of leading industry professionals ensure that each piece of furniture meets the criteria of: excellence in design, materials, manufacture, and function. In its 10th year the Design Guild Mark has introduced a 2D design category to reward excellence in fabrics, textiles, wall coverings, floor coverings and carpets. Rodney McMahon, Design Guild Mark chairman, said: “The Design Guild Mark team is really looking forward to the ceremony as it will be our first chance to congratulate the recipients in person. Bisley is a British furniture institution, and with 2018 marking their debut in Clerkenwell and the MultiDrawers 60th anniversary, it seemed fitting that we invite the new holders to their impressive new showroom to receive their awards.” Design Insider captured some of the stunning designs at the judging day Congratulations to all the Design Guild Mark 2018 award recipients, we can’t wait to host you in our new space.
