WL Designers of the Year 2024: Ones to Watch
The winners of our 17th annual celebration honouring the best designers in Western Canada.
It’s that time again—our annual WL Designers of the Year Awards, celebrating the brilliant talents and creative minds shaping Western Canada’s design scene. This year is extra special with two new categories: WL Design Icons, our own hall of fame for trailblazing designers, and the People’s Choice Awards, where you, our esteemed readers, got to vote for standout projects from each of the design contenders. On September 12, we announced the winners live at our big awards party which (spoiler alert) included a rare two-way tie in the furniture category. Read on to see who took home the top design prizes in all 9 design categories. Without further ado…
