Abodo a Finalist in 2014 Best Awards

Much to our delight, Abodo Wood has been nominated as a finalist in the 2014 Best Awards.

The Best Awards, an initiative of The Designers Institute of New Zealand, is an annual showcase of brilliance in graphic, spatial, product and interactive design.

Abodo’s Vulcan Cladding has been nominated as a finalist under the “Sustainable Product Design” category – a fantastic affirmation for the team at Abodo.

Vulcan Cladding is created by combining thermal modification technology with FSC® certified New Zealand plantation timbers – the result is a stable, renewable, non toxic timber cladding

Entries judged “Best” in each category are awarded the Gold Pin, whilst the very best project in each discipline will be awarded the supreme, Purple Pin for work that raises the bar of New Zealand design.
