TWOPAGES Crowns Winners of 2026 Curtain Design Contest in New York
British designer Heather Cantrill claimed the top prize and $10,000 at the TWOPAGES X Design Contest 2026 in New York, besting 825 global entrants. Her collection, "The Cotswold Way," joined second-place finisher Hailey Kiefer and third-place winner Gabrielle De Winter on the company’s retail platform immediately following the September 16 finale.
The competition, which drew 1,082 submissions from 56 countries, focused on the theme "Curtain as Art." Finalists presented their work through video, talks, and immersive dance performances, while large-scale fabric installations showcased the winning patterns. The event also included interactive workshops and live audience voting, bridging the gap between artistic concept and consumer product.
Following the presentations, a jury consisting of Jennifer Farrell, Leatrice Eiseman, Ingrid Abramovitch, and Bari J. Ackerman evaluated the entries. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, highlighted the technical dedication required to translate creative vision into commercial textiles. According to TWOPAGES CEO Ray Chen, the initiative aims to integrate diverse cultural narratives into everyday home environments. All three winning collections are now available for purchase on the company's website, continuing a model established during the contest's inaugural year in 2025.
