Judges Comment:
We liked Naoko’s playful and original ideas, particularly a deceptive sofa concept that encourages relaxed abandon. She has a versatile and consistently strong body of work.

Winners Comment:
I would like to thank everyone who has supported me and of course Habitat for giving me this award. It is great to have a work placement for 3 months and the award itself gives me a chance to stay for longer in England.
