The competition was organised by Stationery Show London in collaboration with The Paper Library. Leading stationery brands Paperchase, Portico Design and Caroline Gardner provided the competition brief and work placement prizes. Graphic Design student Leanne Haycock won work placements with both Portico Design and Paperchase, impressing the judges with her well thought-out and commercial designs. 3D Design Ceramics student Zoe Benjamin won the placement with Caroline Gardner. Caroline Gardner design director Nicola Breen said: “Zoe’s design experience and her entry, which championed the idea of taking a pause during a working day and making writing a letter or note a pleasurable experience, resonates well with the lifestyle products we are developing at Caroline Gardner.” The competition attracted entries from Universities in Cardiff, Bath, Birmingham, Staffordshire and the University of theWest of England in Bristol. www.stationeryshow.co.uk Win a Best of British weekend Office product brand Rexel is giving customers the chance to win a ‘Best of British’ weekend for two in London, worth over £4,000.
