THE KNOLL MODERN ALWAYS AWARD is given to a student in the Advanced Interior Design and Technology Program at Centre for Arts and Technology for their research and design of interior environments in their Final Graduation Project.

This project speaks to fundamental aspects of modern design in the 21st century such as internationalism, social progressiveness, exploration of a changing world and attention to the purity of materials and form.

This student recognizes the importance of timeless design through the compelling juxtaposition of classic and contemporary designs In the creation of modern interior environments where people can live, work and play.

This award was inspired by one of Knoll’s founders, Florence Knoll, whom the industry lost in 2019 at the age of 101. Florence continues to inspire many in the field of Interior Design and influences design approaches today.

Last term, AIDT student Cassidy Stober was the lucky winner of a design challenge set by Westwood Fine Cabinetry, Kelowna. The challenge? To design a Mid-century Modern-inspired drinks cabinet. The icing on the cake was that Westwood were so taken with the winning design, they decided to produce it as a one off, and the (beautiful) result can be seen in our main foyer.

How Cassidy Is Studying How To Become An Interior Designer

“Watching the cabinet be put together was amazing! I went to see it in each stage of its construction; I saw each piece of the cabinet get put together like an extremely intricate puzzle,” says Stober. “I’d say the finished piece turned out better then how I originally envisioned it. Its compact, functional and beautifully constructed! Westwood did a phenomenal job and were a pleasure to work with!”
