Event description
One of the most important fixtures in the global design calendar, interior designers and architects will come together from around the world to learn, connect and share ideas. This year's Festival will be held at the Arena Berlin, Germany on the 16 - 18 November.
Over three inspiration-filled days INSIDE shines a spotlight on the people, projects and developments that are changing the face of global interiors. At the festival there is an array of creativity and design excellence that will totally refresh your design outlook including:
The INSIDE Awards
At Inside’s heart is a global awards programme, which will be judged by more than 20 distinguished designers and editors from around the world. Finalists that are shortlisted across nine categories will present their project in person to international judging panels. The category winners will then go head-to-head before our super jury. In a hard fought-over battle, one practice will win the ultimate accolade of World Interior of the Year.
Submit your entry to The INSIDE Awards. Final Entry Deadline: 19 May
