Tapestry Design Prize
The Tapestry Design Prize celebrates the intersection of architecture and tapestry design and fosters creative collaborations between architects and tapestry weavers. In 2025 the Tapestry Design Prize evolves to include interior designers for the first time. With past design sites at MONA, the National Gallery of Australia, and Bundanon Art Museum, the prize highlights the enduring connection between textiles and built environments. Globally recognised for contemporary tapestry, the Australian Tapestry Workshop sees the prize as a catalyst for pushing the boundaries of design, materiality, and spatial dialogue.
The site for the 2025 Tapestry Design Prize design challenge is the iconic Boyd House II/Walsh Street, designed by Robin Boyd for his family in 1957. Applicants will have the opportunity to create designs for five distinct spaces within the house. The five finalist designs will be woven into tapestry and exhibited at Walsh Street in November 2025.
