Since its launch in 1967, Corian® has embodied an innovating spirit of ongoing progress and evolution. A solid surface material like no other, Corian® has become emblematic of the capability of design and technology to truly transform projects, bringing ideas to life and forging ahead on pathways previously thought impossible.
Over the years, it has become a staple of Australian commercial and residential design that is regularly used in kitchens, bathrooms, sinks and basins, reception counters, wall cladding and outdoor environments. Unmatched in versatility, ease of installation and maintenance, Corian® has seen successful application in everything from apartments, office, health and aged care facilities to hospitality and retail environments.
In 2006, in line with this fearless, pioneering spirit, CASF launched the Corian® Design Awards, which have been held annually ever since. Celebrating the ingenuity and astounding, vibrant creativity with which the Australian design industry is currently abounding, the Awards recognise local designers who have made remarkable and innovative use of Corian® in their design practice.
In previous years, the Awards have rewarded cutting edge design and forward thinking in projects across all commercial and residential subsectors. From hospitals and offices to airports and high-end apartments, past judging panels have looked beyond project types to identify bold, divergent thinking, dexterous material use, and impeccable craftsmanship.
