WALLPAPER* AND JAGUAR CARS ANNOUNCE THE WINNERS!

In case you hadn't noticed, I've been posting the shortlist nominees for some of the categories for the fabulous Wallpaper* Design Awards all week. Now the winners have been announced and below are the results.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUrtdn35PQMT-7LAAdvOnUQbjk6GVFPoDS1hYg0rZEE3UecHe2EVxhGIDuR38-ghubIzzrRIvXXBD4mma5MjSQvgSBdakJNa5bgcU_sqyyXdMUo57MiAXflZlwIo532HqIECuUSOhT5pKt/s1600-h/Picture+2.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153888987840096002" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUrtdn35PQMT-7LAAdvOnUQbjk6GVFPoDS1hYg0rZEE3UecHe2EVxhGIDuR38-ghubIzzrRIvXXBD4mma5MjSQvgSBdakJNa5bgcU_sqyyXdMUo57MiAXflZlwIo532HqIECuUSOhT5pKt/s400/Picture+2.png" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a><br />Well, not only did they announce the winners to the Wallpaper* Design Awards last night, but they had a rockin' party to do so. This is the fourth year of the annual Wallpaper* Design Awards. The first awards were launched in the January/February issue of Wallpaper* in 2005.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">The international design, fashion and lifestyle magazine, Wallpaper,* and headline partner Jaguar Cars have dramatically transformed the Old Sorting Office on New Oxford Street, London, into a spectacular venue to host a dinner and drinks party celebrating the nominees and winners.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">This year the Design Awards are bigger and better than ever with 63 categories ranging from ‘Best City’ to ‘Best Stationery’ – a first peek at Tony Blair’s new graphic identity.</span><br /><p> In true Wallpaper* style they’ve gone one step further than simply opening an envelope to reveal the winners. Instead, they’ve teamed-up with digital animators, <a href="http://www.mainframe.co.uk/" target="_blank">Mainframe</a>, to produce animations for each winner of the Judges’ Awards.<br /></p><p><span
