Mix Awards 2024 winners announced
We reveal the winners of this year’s landmark Mix Awards across 21 project, people and product categories.
Yesterday the commercial interior design industry gathered in a sunny Battersea Park to celebrate this year’s finalists and winners at Mix Awards 2024. A record-breaking number of entries were scored by our expert panel of judges across key areas of innovation, design and functionality – reflecting the shifting trends and practices that are emerging in the industry – before deciding the 21 winners revealed on the night.
Big winners on the night included dMFK who picked up two awards – for work with Norm Architects on Chancery House and for Design Practice of the Year under 50 employees – with judges commenting on the studio’s commitment to cutting-edge sustainable technology and outreach programmes. Buckley Gray Yeoman took home Design Practice of the Year 50 and over employees for its impressive growth and investment in staff, Manufacturer of the Year went to Specialist Group for its dedication to social responsibility and community engagement, while other winners included White Arkitekter, Gensler, Basha-Franklin, Normann Copenhagen and Tarkett.
Post-awards, the after party went on until the wee hours, featuring feathers and sequins courtesy of La Discotheque, old-school classics reimagined by House Gospel Choir and special guest DJ Erol Alkan keeping the dance floor busy until the very last minute in what was truly an unforgettable evening.
We’d like to take this chance to thank our wonderful sponsors and judges for their support in making these awards happen, helping us to connect and celebrate the design community.
We’ll very shortly be announcing plans for our 2025 event, including new entry dates and information – subscribe to the Mix newsletter to be the first in the know.
