It’s more than an award! That’s the key message and driving force behind the Workspace Awards 2019.
Since beginning in 2017, the Workspace Awards have been a highlight of the annual awards calendar. Born out of desire to celebrate Australian Interior Design, and showcase excellent work across our commercial design community, Workspace was looking to provide a platform for all participants; small, medium and large, to participate in an independent award program.

“The premise of the awards has been understood by the market, we genuinely believe we have filled the need for a truly independent award category, and we are so pleased to simply provide the platform,” says Workspace Chief Executive Officer, Tom Clark “Our award partners including media partner In Design provide the support we need. We simply want everyone to access the opportunity to showcase world-class design in Australia”.
