FX Awards 2018 Winners
The winners of the FX Interior Design Awards 2018 have been announced at our gala awards night in London
This year has seen a fabulous shortlist comprising the best of your projects from around the world. Our new panel of judges fought hard to argue everyone’s corner, and honestly, they didn’t back down on supporting you. And to give everyone the maximum chance of winning, we had a different panel of judges for each category, so if you didn’t win one category, you could have won another.
Tonight our FX Awards celebrate 20 years of celebrating world-class design excellence. Thanks to your continuous support we now have a truly international status with global submissions comprising 50 per cent of our entries. So if you win tonight you really are the best in the world.
As a result, with so many of VIP architects and designers in attendance, I am humbled that you travelled across the world to join us last night for one night only at our fabulous party. Our industry is known for its wild and colourful characters and they were all there last night!
The strength of our awards is directly attributable to our judging panel, which I invite as new each year to keep the event on its toes; each of the judges has been invited for their integrity, opinions and experience, to reflect your interests. While I don’t ever judge myself, my role is to simply recruit the best experts for your entries, I have recruited 22 judges to argue your corner. In some of the most hotly contested categories we have had as many as eight judges on a category to argue your corner. They care as much as I do about the value of these awards – the debates were magnificent!
And with our four prestigious awards as voted by FX readers worldwide, I am delighted that you have voted with brilliant insight to award If Do, Jennifer Newman, Spacelab, and finally Amanda Levete as the Outstanding Lifetime Contribution to Design. These are fantastic results and deserving winners in all four categories. Thank you!
