Elle Decoration Rug Competition

More exciting news about ‘The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design (the e-course)’graduates! We recently encouraged the students to enter Elle Decoration Rug Competition in partnership with Rugdesigner.

‘Rug Designer has teamed up with Elle Decoration to run a design competition aimed at supporting designers and artists who have an interest in promoting themselves by creating a bespoke rug which will be featured on the Elle Decoration site and facebook page, and on the Rug Designer website.

This is a fantastic opportunity for fabric designers, interior designers, artists and anyone with a keen eye for design who wants to make a name for themselves.’

Student Veena Solanki WON! Yes Won the competition!!! Students Liz Smith (ElleJaneDesigns), Bethania Lima and Simon Reeves were also runners up!  You can see their designs below, and you view more of the entries on the Rugdesigner blog. Congratulations everyone! We are so proud!
