Jaguar has teamed with the international design, fashion and lifestyle magazine, Wallpaper* for the second year running as sole partner of its annual Design Awards – the Oscars of the design world.

The Wallpaper* Design Awards in association with Jaguar will celebrate and congratulate the year’s highest design achievers, whether it’s extraordinary architecture, brilliant product design or the most life enhancing item.

Jaguar will be integral to the prestigious Design Awards ceremony at the old Sorting Office, Holborn, London on 9th January 2008 and will also support the readers poll award, Best Gadget on the Go.

Jaguar's Global Marketing Director C.J. O'Donnell says: “Jaguar is renowned for creating some of the most striking, modern and beautiful sports sedans imaginable.  Design is at the forefront of our business and we’re proud to join Wallpaper* in revealing and rewarding the best of the year’s design.  The Jaguar - Wallpaper* association is an ideal marriage, Jaguar is a luxury brand which designs beautiful fast cars, whilst Wallpaper* adds its unique perspective on the world of design, interiors, fashion and travel.

"As two global brands with a strong heritage in design, appealing to a sophisticated dual audience, there is a perfect synergy for us to work so closely together.  We are thrilled to be collaborating with Wallpaper on this project which will help bring Jaguar and Wallpaper* magazine to an even larger audience."

The Design Award categories include architecture, domestic design, fashion and beauty, media and travel and will be judged by an internationally renowned panel including Tadao Ando, André Balazs, Wong Kar Wai, Langlands + Bell, Patricia Urquiola and Donatella Versace.
