Nick Couch on the judging panel

Figtree's creative director, Nick Couch was part of the judging panel for this years Design Week Awards. Design Week's editor, Lynda Relph Knight, remarked that the standards this year were particularly high making the job of the judges even tougher. After much debate, sometimes heated, best in show went to Apple for the iPad and there were three new entries to Design Week's Hall of Fame - BBC, Penguin Books and Nike. Nick's personal favourite was the brilliantly fetishistic, Geometry of Pasta.
Well done to all the winners.
