id Design Awards 2019: The Shortlist

Discover the most eye-catching and interesting new interior projects of the year…

After much deliberation by the id Design Awards international jury headed by Italian designer Marco Piva, we are proud to present the shortlisted projects for the identity Design Awards 2019.

Over 200 stunning projects were submitted in this year’s Awards programme making it extremely difficult for the jury to narrow it down.

The number of Residential Interior submissions far exceed expectations, and as a result, the jury divided them into Residential Interior – Villa and Residential Interior – Apartment projects creating a new category.

Over the next week, we will be showcasing the shortlisted projects in each category selected by the jury that includes Marco Piva, Shawn Sullivan, Teresa Sapey, Alex Michaelis and Christian Sieger.

On October 27, the winners and finalists will be revealed at a gala presentation sponsored by Duravit, Cosentino, Havelock One, Alessi and Innerspace.
