I spend a lot of time thinking about how people will actually move through it, use it and live with it every day,\u201d shared Stefan. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo have both Norwood and Clayfield recognised is incredibly rewarding. They are very different projects, with different clients and requirements, so seeing both acknowledged at this level means a great deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Stefan-Vignogna-Norwood-1000x667.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-709316 webpexpress-processed\"  \/>Stefan Vignogna Norwood<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With more than a decade of experience across design, documentation and construction, Stefan\u2019s approach centres around joinery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than treating joinery as something added towards the end of a project, the Adelaide designer uses it to help shape the entire interior, considering how a space will function and flow before refining its materials, form and finer details.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working from his boutique Adelaide studio, Stefan takes on residential and commercial interiors, bespoke kitchens, bathrooms and joinery, collaborating with clients as well as architects, designers, builders, developers and makers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while his practice remains deliberately boutique, his work is increasingly reaching beyond South Australia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His Australian Certified Designer of the Year win for the Clayfield project is a particular highlight, with the Queensland residence demonstrating how an Adelaide-based practice can make its mark on projects around the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The KBDi Design Awards celebrate excellence across Australia\u2019s kitchen and bathroom design industry, bringing together designers and industry professionals from across the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stefanvignogna.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1767588189_832_1.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Share Tweet Share Share Email &#13; &#13; An Adelaide designer has added another major national accolade to his&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":597631,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[307,304,305,306,308,93,61,60,253268,253269],"class_list":["post-597630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-kbdi-design-awards","tag-stefan-vignogna"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=597630"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597630\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/597631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=597630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=597630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=597630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
