Cape Town - The finalists for this year’s Most Beautiful Object in South Africa (MBOISA) have been announced.

The winners of AW’s 2013 Awareness Award were announced at the Domotex trade fair in Hannover, Germany.

Over 30 of Europe’s most promising and forward-looking designers are being presented to the public at i Fabric. European Talent in the Audax Textielmuseum, Tilburg in the Netherlands.

Organised as part of the Tilburg Textiles event, the exhibition contains work by participating designers from Central Saint Martins, London, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp and the Design Academy, Eindhoven who specialise in fashion, interior textiles and product design.

The Cross Cultural Design Project at Designersblock pretty much does what it says on the tin.

Last week saw the opening of Hoxton Square agency and gallery KK Outlet’s contribution to the London Design Festival, the exhibition ‘Object Abuse’.

As you’d expect, interpretations differ from ingenious to downright cheeky.
