Today the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards announce the shortlist for the 2015/2016 ceremony. In what is perhaps the longest shortlist on record, 217 projects across 33 categories are featured. It will be a mammoth task for the judges; the panel features global names from design, publishing and interiors.
Now in its eighth year, this year’s awards ceremony will celebrate British design across a range of eclectic outlets, from the slickest contemporary design to vintage-inspired decors, as well as categories across international platforms: Europe, the Americas, Australia, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
The selection is incredibly diverse, with everything from new branches of Nandos to street food vendors, lighting, identities, cafés, outdoor areas, pop ups – the list is exhaustive but promises a a celebration of all things interiors and the shortlist covers the best restaurant openings over the past year.
We’re thrilled that one of our clients – D&D London’s German Gymnasium, has made the list. We have high hopes that the stunning interior, by Conran & Partners, will scoop the Restaurant or Bar in a Heritage Building award for its dramatic transformation.
There are plenty of London openings on the list, from luxury designs to vibrant and graphic interiors.
