Land Rover BORN Awards global winners announced

The London Design Museum welcomed the world’s creative greats to honour their peers at the eighth annual Land Rover BORN awards.

The celebration of global design drew more than 7,000 entries from across six regions including the UK, Spain, Italy, France, the USA and the rest of the world. These were narrowed down to 192 finalists who competed in the regional awards, with the 48 winners booking their places at the global final in London.

Across six categories, all the entries to exhibit peerless design. Land Rover Chief Design Officer Gerry McGovern said peerless design stands apart as there is nothing else quite like it. He added:

“It’s easy to be different, but to truly deserve the term ‘peerless’ takes imagination, intellect, wit and more than a little wisdom. That’s why it is the creative theme for the 2018 Land Rover BORN Awards. Each of the winners deserve the accolade.”

Founder Jean Christophe Chopin said the awards was a platform to showcase the wide variety of creative intelligence from across the world. He added: “The BORN Awards continued success and growth proves what a valuable platform it is to designers, both emerging and established.”

Three special awards were handed out celebrating The Loewe Foundation’s work promoting and supporting creativity, Founder of Fair.com Scott Painter for his disruptive digital consumer product and artist Nino Mustica who died last year.
