Hidden Art Cornwall designer-maker, Jethro Macey, was  announced as a winner in the prestigious Elle Decoration British Design Awards; one of the highest accolades in the industry. Jethro’s Lace Embossed Concrete Tiles beat off competition from Timorous Beasties for Brintons Carpets, Committee for The Rug Company and Barnaby Barford for Thorsten Van Elten, to win Best Flooring Product 2007.

 

This year the winners were decided by the public in an online vote, and it was revealed at the ceremony that Jethro won best flooring product by a vast majority.

 

“This award has completed an amazing year for me and my business,” says Jethro. “The recognition from Elle Decoration has assured me that I am moving in the right direction. It also shows that working on small scale production runs doesn’t exclude you from a market usually dominated by large manufacturers and distributors.”
