2011 Absolut Visi designer of the year awards

This is the fifth year that the iconic ABSOLUT has partnered with VISI to host the annual Oscars of the design world; a fitting alliance for a cutting edge brand that never disappoints in terms of design and creative expression.

The culmination of this ABSOLUTely glitzy party, which rocked the Chavonnes Battery Museum at the V&A Waterfront, was the awards ceremony, where international trends forecaster Li Edelkoort announced architects, Silvio Rech and Lesley Carstens, as the 2011 winners, for their work on the Braamfontein precinct in Johannesburg.
