Greek-Australian Helen Kontouris has for a second time won the People’s Choice Award at the IDEA Awards (Interior Design Excellence Awards) which are Australia’s largest and most successful independent design awards program. She also won in 2009.
According to the IDEA official website, Kontouris’ entry this year in the Object – Furniture and Lighting category was the Panier stool, a low-standing stool that directly references the intricate techniques and geometric patterns of traditional basket weaves.
Clean lines and a tapering form provide a familiar aesthetic, and the highly adaptable stool sits comfortably within both commercial and residential environments. The choice of locally produced and rotationally-moulded polyethylene also ensured an energy-efficient manufacturing process.
Kontouris has presented her design work in Italy, Germany, the USA, the UK, Spain and in other countries, where her talent has been appraised. Celda, Ritzenhoff, Kundalini and Schiavellos are some of the international interior design companies promoting her work worldwide.
