THE SURFACE DESIGN
AWARDS Since 2013, the Show has hosted the Surface Design Awards, now recognised as one of the most respected events in the design calendar. The 2019 Awards received 197 entries from 22 countries, including America, Italy, China and India. There are 13 awards that recognise exterior and interior surfaces for different sectors of design, including commercial, housing, light and surface, public building, retail, sustainable, and temporary structure.
The awards presentation takes place on Thursday 7 February during the show. Sponsors include James Latham, The Business Design Centre and FINSA.
A judging panel of high-profile industry professionals including architects and designers will take a view of each entry and award the winners based on the particular use of materials, the type and finish of surface and the overall look and feel of the aesthetic design.
