As we close out 2023, it is my pleasure to reflecting on the remarkable journey we’ve shared throughout the year.
We have highlighted emerging trends, ground-breaking projects and spearheaded insightful features, and so we find ourselves at the culmination of an extraordinary year – a pilgrimage through the boundless landscapes of creativity, innovation, and design excellence.

In this edition of the magazine, we take a moment to honour and celebrate the designers who have graced our industry with their brilliance. Congratulations to the winners of the identity Design Awards 2023! Your dedication to pushing the boundaries of design and your unwavering pursuit of excellence have left an indelible mark on our collective imagination. Thank you to everyone who attended the event and made it a night to remember. A special thank you to our wonderful sponsors who helped us power the event and make it a success.

In this issue we share the winning projects – an assembly of narratives brought to life, from the bold and modern to the elegantly understated. Each project tells a story of passion, ingenuity, and a profound understanding of the intricate details that make a difference. Let us not only celebrate the achievements but also the collaborative spirit that defines our industry. The partnerships forged, the lessons learned, and the uncharted territories explored have collectively enriched the sector.

As we look forward to the promise of a new year, let this edition be a source of inspiration and reflection. May the stories within these pages ignite your creativity, spark new ideas, and serve as a testament to the transformative power of design.

To our readers, contributors, and the entire interior design and architecture community, thank you for entrusting us with the privilege of sharing your stories. It has been an honour to be your guide through the ever-evolving landscapes of design.

Here’s to 2024 and all the exciting projects that await!
