The 2011 ABSOLUT VISI Designer of the Year Awards, which took place at the Chavonnes Battery Museum at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, brought together the great minds of the design world to celebrate its top achievers.
The ultra-chic party featured cocktails by ABSOLUT, beer by &Union, furniture by the Twiice Group, decor elements by Doktor and Misses and trendy beats by Balkonology.
The culmination of the glitzy affair 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 Braamfontein.
VISI would once again like to congratulate the winners and all the nominees for their superb contributions to South African design.
The above picture gallery captures the glitz and glam of the evening.
