Juliet stood out from eleven other designs, which included those from Nendo, Stephan Burks, Nika Zupanc, Constance Guisset and Daphna Laurens. It won over the hearts of judges with its design inspiration, which was used to communicate the characteristics of leather upholstery. 

The outside of the chair utilises the flexibility and tensile strength of leather to describe a fluted traditional timber frame work where the shape of the timber can clearly be seen through the tight leather covering. This is contrasted by a ‘tri-pleated’ generous sitting area with a soft and loose appearance.
