Good morning/day/evening dearest yellowtrace readers! I’m super excited to share with you this year’s sexy shortlist for Australian Interior Design Awards, which was announced last Wednesday evening. I couldn’t think of a better way to kick of the week than by celebrating Australian Design excellence. Yet again, the competition was fierce and there are some absolutely spectacular projects on the very long shortlist (seriously, why call it a SHORT list when there are 38 projects in one category alone. Am I missing something?)

As per usual, below is a selection of 2o12 projects that caught my design eagle-eye. Congratulations to all designers who’s projects were shortlisted in this year’s awards. Incrediballs* effort! (*French for “incredible”.)

UdA | Ufficio di Architettura was founded in 1992 in Turin by Valter Camagna, Massimiliano Camoletto and Andrea Marcante. The three partners collaborate with a team of architects, designers and graphic illustrators who come from many backgrounds and nationalities. Among them is one of their key interior designers by the name of Adelaide Testa.

UdA’s work has been described as “ultra sophisticated architecture with a specific concern for sensory perceptions, materials, light and surface.” I call it shit hot design with truckload of personality…
