Winner, Daniel Buren, one of the most internationally renowned French artists, impressed the jury with his project in the ‘Public Building’ category. An initiative of the Uhoda group, the Liège-Guillemin station in Belgium was illuminated in a vibrant wash of colour. The temporary artwork was deployed across the vast array of glass panels which transformed the shifting light throughout the day.
In the 3D category, Ernesta Jakonyté created an amazing underwater scene to for a canteen. She stated, ‘Water is the most common compound on earth. And it is also needed for cooking. The selected water theme creates a sense of calmness, the blue colour reveals the feeling of the depth of the water.’
Inspired by the history and heritage of Agde, Nilda Hernandez won the Special Windows Film Prize for Agde’s Mediatheque. She commented, ‘Thanks to Antalis and its Coala products, we created a decorative signage concept which represents a link to land as well as to an aquatic environment.’
Andrea Ferreras Dorado, winner of the Original Pattern Prize, developed his ‘Blue Forest’ motif specifically for spaces with natural light. The soft colours and delicate shapes give a feeling of nature and relaxation.
