Sydney based industrial designer James Walsh has been awarded the Australian Furniture Design Award for 2020.

AFDA, now in its third iteration, is presented by the National Gallery of Victoria and Stylecraft. The winning prize includes a $20,000 cash prize, an invitation to develop a design through to commercial production and distribution with Stylecraft, and a two two-week residency at JamFactory.
