FABRIQUE 1840 AWARD
Showcasing the Talent of Canadian Craftspeople
Fabrique 1840 by Simons is proud to connect us from coast to coast with creativity, a true driving force behind optimism and change. It shows us, once again, how Canadian craftspeople's brilliance is both abundant and unifying, and how much it deserves to be celebrated.
Throughout the spring, hundreds of creators from all over the country competed against one another's ingenuity to present their interpretation of the chosen theme, revival, and land a spot amongst the 30 finalists for our new award.
There were many that wowed our jury of experts. In fact, the panel was so impressed that the grand prize, which was originally meant to be one award of $10,000, was transformed into three awards!
“I was filled with hope seeing the talent, innovation, and quality of the achievements of the candidates from across Canada. It was an extremely difficult choice, but our three finalists truly stood out for their creativity and passion. Thank you to everyone for your participation.”
– Peter Simons, President and CEO of Simons and jury member
And the winners are...
$10,000 Award
Noémiah x Goye, Quebec
Le Miroir aux Alouettes Porcelain Collar
A ready-to-wear sculptural piece on which a bouquet of whimsical daisies, carefully crafted and assembled by hand, comes to life. It's a nod to a bygone era and, at the same time, a romantic glimpse into the future. That's the true brilliance of revival.
“This delicate accessory, created by fashion designer Noémie Vaillancourt and ceramist Stéphanie Goyer-Morin, conveys an enchanting and comforting feeling after 15 months of our lives that have been seemingly put on hold. Its subtle inspirations from the past add to its charm. With its bouquet of flowers, this elegant and joyful necklace could be the accessory of choice to celebrate missed holidays with family and friends once we return to our more carefree lifestyles.”
– Muriel Françoise, Montreal correspondent for Milk & Milk Decoration, founder of Mezzanine, and jury member
$7,000 Award
Annie Axtell, British Columbia
Triple Link Cushion
Made with simplicity and precision, its wide and playful corduroy links illustrate the bonds that unite us with others and that, when cared for, help us constantly grow. As comforting as they are inspiring, they give us support and are there for hugs whenever we need them.
“Annie Axtell takes the body pillow to a new realm, where it teeters between a pillow and a sofa, an accessory and furniture. There's also a levity with this design that is inviting and uplifting, which I appreciate.”
– Deborah Wang, Artistic Director at DesignTO and jury member Discover the award's 30 finalists
$5,000 Award
Bramble Lee Pryde, Alberta
Dreamscape Tufted Wall Decor
A mirror, lost in the midst of a whimsical landscape, reflects the need to reconnect and the promise of a future filled with laughter and get-togethers. At the top of the stairs, in the clouds, is a place only dreamed about that could very well become reality...
“More than a nod to fun, these wall pieces by Bramble Lee look to the future with well-balanced, energetic colours, patterns, and texture to boot—and the future looks bright!”
– Jody Phillips, former Director of IDS Vancouver for six years, ambassadress for the West Coast design scene, and jury member
