Best in Wallcovering Design Project: Buffalo Bayou de Gournay Custom Art Wallpaper Firm: Creative Tonic Design leaD Designer: Courtnay Tartt Elias juDge's remarks: "I think the wallcovering is inspired. The pattern is most intriguing, and while it's unlikely anyone would guess its origins, I find it absolutely charming that the design is based on the actual topography of the region." — Madeline Stuart runner-uP: Yesely Love, Canaima Design Best in textile Design Project: The Matrix Collection Firm: Matt Camron Rugs & Tapestries leaD Designer: Sarah Tringhese juDges' remarks: "I'm crazy about this design. The pattern is deceptively simple and as a result, super chic. With just the right amount of reference to classic Swedish flat-weave rugs, this piece celebrates the essence of a hand- weaving, imbuing it with an authenticity and artisanship that is often lost in manufactured products.
