Sanderson and Zoffany win premier design awards
Walker Greenbank PLC (AIM: WGB), the designer, manufacturer and distributor of
furnishing fabrics and wallpapers whose international business includes the
brands Sanderson, Morris & Co, Harlequin and Zoffany, is pleased to announce
that the Company has won two prestigious prizes, for Best Wallpaper and Best
Printed Fabric, in Homes & Gardens magazine's Fabric Awards 2007.
The Company won the Best Wallpaper award for a new Sanderson design called
Etchings & Roses, which is part of the newly launched Parchment Flowers
collection. The judge of the award described Etchings & Roses as 'a great blend
of classic and contemporary with document designs given new life with beautiful
colours'.
A new Zoffany design, Botanique from the newly launched Archive Prints III
collection, was the winner of the Best Fabric award. The judge of the award
said: 'This versatile range of fabrics offers the perfect way to inject simple
pattern into a contemporary interior. The colours are a delight.'
The Parchment Flowers and Archive Print III collections, which were designed in
our studios and inspired by the Company's extensive archive of design materials,
were launched at last week's Focus interior design show in London.
The two awards from Homes & Gardens reflect the success of Walker Greenbank's
investment in design during the past two years and reinforce the Company's
reputation as one of the UK's leading interior design houses.
John Sach, Walker Greenbank's Chief Executive, said: 'We are delighted to
receive these prestigious awards which recognise the quality and desirability of
our new product collections. During the past two years we have invested heavily
in design and it is gratifying to see the work of our design studios winning the
top accolades from the interior design industry.'
