The first ever Spanish winners of the Land Rover BORN Awards were announced at a ceremony held at Teatro Real in Madrid, Spain.
The six winners were picked by a jury made up of a selection
of influential personalities from the world of Spanish culture, across six
categories including: architecture, technology, interior design, fashion, sport
and mobility, celebrating the importance of design when changing the world.
This eighth edition of the Land Rover BORN awards saw the
theme of the awards focus on peerless, beautiful creation, with two special
prizes given in recognition for encouraging interest in Spain, with the Loewe
Foundation acknowledged for creating educational programmes around poetry,
dance, design, crafts and photography. While artist Alicia Koplowitz was
rewarded for her contribution to the world of art, with both awards presented
by Jaguar Land Rover Spain’s Communication Director Belén de Lacalle, who
added:
“We are really excited about the
reception of these awards received. It has been enriching to discover that
there are so many interesting and creative brands in our country, and selecting
the winners has been a complicated process.”
CEO and founder of Born Jean-Christophe
Chopin said: “This new edition of the Land Rover BORN awards has been a good
occasion to celebrate Spanish creators and their taste, style and romance
worldwide.”
The winners will have the
opportunity to display their work at Milan Design Week next April alongside
winners from the UK, France, Germany, USA and China, as well as being entered
into a final competition with the winner announced during a ceremony at the
London Design Museum on 4 October.
