VE Commodore, WM Statesman and Caprice Short Listed for Interior Design Award

[Darren]

The VE Commodore and WM ranges have been short listed for the Interior Product category for the 2007 Interior Design Award – the first time a car has been short listed for the prestigious awards program.

Now in its fourth year, the internationally recognised Interior Design Awards promotes and rewards interior design excellence. The award ceremony will take place in April where commendations and winners will be announced.

The Awards are open to any Australian-based designer, including interior designers, architects and other design professionals. This year it attracted a record 355 entrants.

The Interior Design Awards is a partnership event of the Design Institute of Australia (the professional body representing Australian designers), designEX (Australia’s event for interior architecture and design) and ARTICHOKE (published by Architecture Media).

GM Holden Design Director, Tony Stolfo said having the VE and WM short listed was fantastic recognition for the interior designers who worked on the cars.

“When we set out to design these new cars we intended to be class leaders in interior design in the automotive field.”

“As these awards recognise the best of design across a wide spectrum, it’s especially pleasing to see our work on the VE Commodore and WM Statesman and Caprice stand out against the leading designers in other industries as well,” Mr Stolfo said.

The category winners and overall winner will be announced at a ceremony held in Melbourne on Friday 20 April.
