The competition, which was a partnership between Legrand and ASID, asked architects and interior designers to create an original, custom wall plate for Legrand’s Adorne Collection for the chance to design three wall plates that will be for sale in 2014. Aside from the first-place winner, there were four finalists, including Kerrie Kelly, Ellen Carey, Antonio Rodrigues and Emily Lurker.
