Es Devlin scoops top prize at London Design Medals
Set designer Es Devlin has been awarded the most coveted prize at this year's British Land Celebration of Design Awards, which also see Paul Priestman, Margaret Calvert and Julian Melchiorri recognised for their work.
The four medal winners were announced ahead of this year's London Design Festival, which takes place later this month.
Each winner will receive their award at a ceremony towards the end of the week-long festival, and examples of their work will be on show at a dedicated exhibition at the V&A.
This year's lifetime achievement award goes to Margaret Calvert, who designed the UK's road signing system that still remains in place to this day
Devlin, considered to be one of the most sought-after set designers in the world, has been awarded the biggest of the four prizes ? the Panerai London Design Medal. The Brtish designer began her career in theatre, and has gone on to create backdrops for musical acts including The Weeknd, Kanye West, Lady Gaga and U2. She also designs catwalk show sets for the likes of Louis Vuitton and previously created a scent-infused mirror maze for Chanel in London.
Earlier this year, Devlin caused a stir with her set for singer Katy Perry's politically charged Grammy Awards performance, which featured a picket fence that grew into a wall ? a reference to the barrier Trump intended to build between the US and Mexico.
