BEST KITCHEN INNOVATION - winner: BONHAM BY BLAKES LONDON
A kitchen created with biophilic principles at its core. Blakes London helped achieve the incorporation of a 1.5m-long marble planter to be used as a herb and plant trough.
‘I absolutely love this idea – it takes upstands to the next level,’ says Eva Sonaike.

for the brand,’ says Pip Rich.

BEST SUSTAINABLE APPLIANCE - winner: ECOSPEED HEAT PUMP TUMBLE DRYER BY MIELE
The EcoSpeed range offers significantly better energy ratings and reduces the average drying time by 20 minutes thanks to the use of an environmentally friendly R290 gas. The dryer has a PowerFresh option to freshen up dry clothes.
‘It has a dispenser for scented oil, which I love,’ says Staffan Tollgård.

BEST BATHROOM COLLECTION - winner: MARC NEWSON FOR DRUMMONDS

BEST BATHROOM SURFACE - winner: METEORA GRIS BY CRL STONE
Inspired by the natural tones of marble, yet with all the durability and versatility that
ceramic offers, Meteora Gris is available in three thicknesses – 6mm, 12mm and 20mm – the slimmest of which can be used for bathroom walls to create a spa-like, wetroom-style shower area.
‘It’s a great ceramic with a beautiful textured finish and it’s also cost-effective over large surfaces,’ says Sarah Spiteri.

BEST BRASSWARE - winner: Epoch by C.P. Hart
Epoch is a classical brassware range manufactured in Britain. Echoing the glamour
of the art deco era, it combines swivel spouts and crosshead handles with etched detailing, available in eight finishes.
‘It is simple and effective and also feels nice to hold, which is important - but surprisingly often overlooked - with a tap,’ says Pip Rich.
