A message from our Corporate Plus Partner, Austaron Surfaces.

Have you used Staron Solid Surfaces in spectacular fashion? Here’s your chance to share your work with the world.

 
The annual Staron Design Awards program offers a fantastic opportunity for designers to show off their favourite commercial and residential projects. And with a special ‘Concept’ category, the program welcomes designers and students with big visions for solid surface designs, too.

The properties of Staron make it the perfect fit for many design outcomes. The Staron Design Awards program offers a platform to showcase projects in Australia and New Zealand and celebrate the skills and ability of savvy designers to feature Solid Surface within the built environment.

The entry process is super simple (see below for more info), but doors close on 30 September, so enter now!
