Within the first batch of collaborations to have been created in the Innovative Routes to Market program the level of talent of those short listed has been so high that choosing the most successful group was a very difficult decision for our selection panel to make.

KIN, consisting of Gareth Neal, Anthony Dickens, Junior Phipps, Jason Allcorn and Sarah Johnson, emerged as the collective taking the biggest steps towards producing unique products.

 

KIN aim to offer a sustainable design service to help their clients visualise climate change strategies and address waste issues.

Their speech at the Exploring Innovation Forum was informative and helpful but also outlined the success this collective have already had in producing their Pintless cup, made from recycled orange peel.

This award was presented by Hidden Art CEO Dieneke Ferguson.
