Bath - winner: Whitewater bath by Susie Atkinson for Drummonds
Designed in collaboration with award-winning interior designer Susie Atkinson, the Whitewater bath features contoured sides and a gently raised edge to create the perfect comfort/style combination.
Drummonds’ craftsmen worked closely with Susie to finesse every element, from initial sketches through to the finished product.
“Reinterpreting this classic shape feels friendly and familiar, while the height is super luxe with its long side you can lie back on” says Pip McCormac.

Tiles - winner: Carnival by Otto Tiles & Design
These Memphis-style sustainably produced encaustic tiles were designed by founder Damla Turgut using a palette inspired the desaturated colours seen on a trip to Tulum. Consisting of three geometric patterned tiles and one complimentary plain, the handmade are tiles crafted from recycled and sustainable materials using eco-friendly production methods, and can be used indoors and out, on walls and on floors.
“I love these colours and the deigns are so much fun. I could easily integrate them into any number of projects and you could be really imaginative about where you use them” says Minnie Kemp.

Shower - winner: Henry by Waterworks
The goose-necked shower has a whiff of Victorian industrial bathhouse style, but still feels very elegant and up to date. It's available in a variety of finishes, but what makes it stand out - literally - is the wide arched shape. It is expansive and bold, and the design itself is no mean feat, requiring casting, turning, forging, hand-fitting and hand-polishing.
“This is such a sensational shape” says Sarah Spiteri. “It’s a piece that can really define the whole look of your bathroom.”
