Open to all professional interior design and architecture practices, the Shaw Contract Design Awards puts the spotlight on a diverse range of talents from across the globe. Redefining the way design influences living, working, learning and healing, The Awards honour purposeful and authentic creative thinking.

This year’s design award program reached over a staggering number of 700 entries from around the world. Shaw Contract is delighted to announce the 2019 category winners for the impact of their work within the industry segment. A respected panel of ten design professionals was invited to evaluate and review each project and the methods that successfully contributed to the evolving nature of the built environment. A total of 36 category winners were selected and these winning projects will automatically be entered into the final awards program and people’s choice voting.
