We are thrilled to announce the winners of the Corian® Design Awards 2025, celebrating the creativity, skill and forward-thinking design within our industry. This year’s awards showcased an outstanding calibre of work, with four Residential and four Commercial finalists impressing the judging panel. The final decisions were incredibly close in both categories, reflecting the commitment, attention to detail and intelligent use of Corian® across every entry.
As judge Ingrid Kelly shared, “The high level of craftsmanship and innovative use of Corian® is exciting to see. All entrants fully used the seamlessness and limitless possibilities Corian® has to offer.”
Fellow judge Jessica Hersch added how enjoyable it was to see such variety in approach: “There was a good mix of simple, refined detailing and more expressive applications… What stood out most was that I even learned a few new capabilities of the material through the judging process.”
We commend all entrants for the thoughtful, refined and at times boundary-pushing ways they explored the versatility of Corian® Solid Surface. Congratulations to this year’s finalists and winners – and thank you for continuing to elevate the future of design.

| THE PROJECT
Our Wondrous Planet at Melbourne Museum is a 1,800-square-metre gallery designed by Museums Victoria’s exhibition design team, immersing visitors in a multisensory journey across four major ecosystems — Reef, Soil, Rainforest and Ice — and three thematic zones exploring sustainable futures, the tree of life and First Peoples’ connection to Country.
The design integrates Corian® in two key biomes: organically curved interpretation rails in the Soil zone made from Corian® Dove, fabricated by ACRT, and dramatic backlit shards and glowing cubes in the Ice zone crafted from Corian® River Pearl by Show Works. These sculptural Corian® elements, celebrated for their durability, flexibility and seamless finish, help evoke the beauty and complexity of Earth’s systems, contributing to a highly popular exhibition that inspires wonder, connection and care for the natural world.

Overall Residential Winner: Seidler Group City Apartment
“I am very honoured to have been selected as the residential category winner amongst such outstanding entrants. I am so pleased that the judges appreciated the intricate detail in the design and manufacturing of the integrated vanity unit which could only be achieved to that level of refinement by using Corian®.” – Sarah Seidler, Head of Interior Design at Seidler Group |

THE PROJECT Seidler Group was tasked with designing a single, expansive penthouse-style residence by merging four apartments on the 22nd floor, preserving the sense of space the clients enjoyed in their previous home. Inspired by the clients’ love of travel, art, and culture, the design features carefully curated materials, textures, and colours to create refined, emotionally rich spaces.
The bathroom was conceived as a minimalist, functional environment, with a fully integrated Corian® Cameo White vanity crafted by ProSolid, featuring fluted drawer fronts and a seamless construction that reflects the home’s sophisticated aesthetic. Despite logistical challenges in working within an existing building, the project successfully achieved a cohesive and luxurious home that showcases panoramic city views while demonstrating the adaptability and performance of Corian® as a durable, low-maintenance, and beautifully refined material choice.
