The Australian Interior Design Awards (AIDA) is celebrating its 19th year, and this year, there’s extra reason to celebrate.
With the hardships of the last two years felt across all industries, the joy expressed in this year’s submissions is a testament to the tenacity and creativity of Australia’s interior design industry.
This year sees an enthusiastic return to dining, retail and the workplace.
Embracing diversity and inventiveness of this year’s commercial projects, the hospitality design submissions were a formidable line-up. The judges labelling the submissions, ‘incredibly impressive and hard to judge.’
Studio Gram’s Arkhé was deserving of this years’ Hospitality Design Award, and the Best of State Award for Commercial Design (SA). Admiring the project’s seemingly effortless manipulation of space through a clever use of materiality and light, the jury stated, ‘the highly experiential nature of moving through the interior makes for a gutsy, powerful project.’
Unsurprisingly, the Hospitality Design Award category was filled with some truly unique projects such as Square Compass by Flack Studio, Bassono from Tom Robertson and Adytum by Pattern Studio.
The esteemed Emerging Interior Design Practice award was dually awarded to designer Brahman Perera and Pattern Studio, with the panel believing both practices are shaping the advancement of Australian interior design.
“This year’s submissions were incredibly impressive and hard to judge.”
