New Designers 2026 Winner
 Florence Barnby

The Colour in Design Awards are delighted to announce Florence Barnby as our New Designers 2026 winner.

​

Selected by our judging panel at this year’s show, Florence’s work stood out for its confident use of colour, material sensitivity and thoughtful design approach.

​

A huge thank you to every graduate who shared their work with us, and to our judges for championing the next generation of colour-led design.

“The judging was fun, challenging, overwhelming, tiring

– but in a good way!”
