🏆We are beyond thrilled to honour the extraordinary Savannah J. Nicholas as this year’s recipient of the V40 Designers Choice Award 🎉

Savannah's powerful piece, Best Stay Silent, left a profound impression on our design team. The artwork is both haunting and arresting. At once silent and screaming, it commands attention and demands reflection.

To us, Best Stay Silent is a visual elegy, a poignant meditation on voice, censorship, and legacy. It speaks volumes through stillness, challenging the viewer to question what is said, unsaid, and ultimately silenced.

Beautifully composed and emotionally charged, Savannah's work lingers in the mind long after you've looked away.

👏 Bravo, Savannah. Your ability to weave narrative and emotion into every brushstroke is a gift, and this award is a small tribute to the impact your art has made.

We can’t wait to see what you create next.
