Rick Forward, of New from Old, won the prizes for best bespoke wooden kitchens and furniture designer in Eastern England, and most innovative residential kitchen project, at the BUILD Interior Design 2017 awards.
Rick, who started the company which designs and installs environmentally-friendly solid wood kitchens in 1991, said: “Our customers are concerned about the environment and want furniture that will not contribute to damaging it.
“Alongside this, they want personalised service, attention to detail, flexibility and the realisation of the dreams that bespoke furniture can offer.”
Rick said he is always on the lookout for challenging and exciting projects like the North-Norfolk kitchen that won him Most Innovative Residential Kitchen Project.
