Victoria Cybulski of Hare + Klein was this week announced as the winner of Designer Rugs’ international design competition, Evolve. As well as having her rug made, she receives return flights to Milan and accommodation during next year’s Salon de Mobile and a trophy crafted by Dinosaur Designs.
More than 100 industry guests and media joined the celebrations at McLemoi Gallery in Chippendale to view the six finalists’ rugs and hear the announcement. It was such a close call between Victoria’s ‘Wattle Blooms at Dusk’ and Bradhly Le’s ‘Escape’, that the judges decided to announce Bradhly as first runner-up. He will also receive his own rug.
