Are you the best young commercial interior designer?
If you’re an interior design graduate under 30 and think you could be the next David Collins or Tara Bernerd then this is for you: the Interior Design Association Young Commercial Designer of the Year competition, in association with the British Contract Furnishing Association (BCFA), is giving up-and-coming designers the chance to have their design built in the BCFA Interiors and Design Pavilion at hospitality and foodservice exhibition ScotHot 2011. As well as having their work seen by around 8,000 hospitality professionals and buyers, the winner will also get a £1,000 cash prize.
The challenge for entrants is to design a 6m x 4m bedroom, including en-suite bathroom, for a four or five star refurbished boutique hotel. Maximum budget for the design is £25,000, and with sustainability a key focus for ScotHot 2011, designers must take into account origin and air miles of their materials, but keep full product lifecycle sustainability as the most important factor. Points will be awarded to those who use UK suppliers and no products are to be sourced from outside Europe.
Entrants must be under 30 and detail all aspects of the room design including technology, surfaces, fabrics, and furniture, with specific emphasis on how the room design enhances the guest’s overall enjoyment of their stay and how they meet the sustainability criteria.
The panel of judges features some of the countries top designers including Colin Watson of the Interior Design Association, Kate Mooney of Occa Design, Stephan Oberwegner of Max Bentheim, Jim Hamilton of Graven Images and Ronnie Burns of Burns Interior Design along with industry experts such as Kiki Max of Wyndham Hotels. Two highly commended candidates will also have the opportunity to mount their designs in the BCFA Interiors and Design Pavilion at ScotHot 2011.
ScotHot 2011 takes place from 28 February until 2 March 2011. www.scothot.co.uk
