Johnson Tiles supports emerging design talent at New Designers 2016

Johnson Tiles’ Designer, Maria Swain, exhibited at New Designers in 2012, and has since been an integral part of the creative team at our headquarters in Stoke-on-Trent. This year, Maria will sit on the judging panel alongside Creative Director, Darren Clanford. 

Fellow designers Amy Pears and Melanie Holland have also previously exhibited their work at the show. 

We will award one prize for Part One (29 June – 2 July 2016) and one prize for Part Two (6 – 9 July 2016) of New Designers. The judging panel, which includes a combined team from Johnson Tiles and Material Lab – Johnson Tiles’ London-based studio, will be looking for a combination of trend awareness, innovation, attention to detail and quality of overall presentation from the candidates in each category. 

We are once again supporting emerging designers with the sponsorship of two associate prizes at New Designers 2016, which kicks off this week (Part One, 29 June – 2 July, and Part Two, 6 – 9 July).

Taking place at the Business Design Centre, London, N1, the event offers new design talent the chance to showcase their work to thousands of visitors from the A&D community. The majority of previous exhibitors have gone on to careers in the design industry, whilst a number have become household names.
