Скачать или смотреть From Ashes We Rise: Watch The Caesarstone Student Designer Competition Awards Ceremony | 2022

The ‘Oscars’ of the student design world, the 2022 Caesarstone SDC culminated in the exclusive awards ceremony, which saw Wian van der Merwe from BHC School of Design achieve ‘winner’ status – earning himself and his lecturer a trip to an international design fair of their choice, worth R100K.

Attended by our country’s leading industry experts, guests were treated to a full night of surprises. With live artists in action, and the astounding Jamie Faull on saxophone, the evening ensured an out-of-this-world experiential event. Brining the ‘From Ashes We Rise’ theme to life with ash-dusted starters, smoked mains, and an interactive dessert was the dynamic team at Studio H.

Trends research extraordinaire, Chris Reid, took to the stage to ensure the industry were
well informed of what’s to come, and it’s safe to say that everyone went home inspired and
excited for what the future of South African design holds.

This year’s brief was conceptualised by Mokena Mokeka, founder of Designworks, and is titled ‘From Ashes We Rise’. It’s based around the re-imagining and rebuilding of the home of South African Democracy, the National Assembly. “The National Assembly is where democracy can thrive and there’s an avenue for change to happen,” says Megan Noel, Head of Marketing at Caesarstone.

Our illustrious judging panel came together again for this year’s SDC: Stefan Antoni of SAOTA, Dorothy van’t Riet of Dorothy van’t Riet Design & Décor Consultants, Juliet Kavishe of IID, Jonathan Anstey of Anstey Architects, and Michele Rhoda of ARRCC. Looking forward to 2023, the brief for next year’s competition will be released soon!
