State of Design 2006 Update 

And the winner is...

Victoria's richest design prize, The Premier's Design Award 2006, goes to dynamic design duo Chantal MacDonald and Susan Dimasi of Material by Product, a cutting-edge fashion label that continues to wow fashionistas and design experts nationally and internationally. "The element of new ground, of a paradigm shift, presented in this particular design, made it the winner," said the Chair of the Jury, Professor John Redmond, in his opening speech. 

This and eleven further prizes for excellence were awarded by André Haermeyer, MP, Minister for Manufacturing and Export with responsibility for design, at a function at Melbourne Museum last night. Winners in the individual categories included architect Sean Godsell for his simple yet beautiful St Andrews Beach House, industrial designer Paul Charlwood for the sophisticated Commonwealth Games' Queen's Baton, and graphic designers Stuart Geddes and Jeremy Wortsman for their unique publication Is Not magazine. The inaugural City of Melbourne Sustainability Award, presented by Deputy Lord Mayor Gary Singer went to architect Katrina Logan for combining sleek style and environmental design in the 'Lumi' Illuminated Rainwater Storage project. Talented students in each design field were awarded student prizes.
