Dezeen has announced the interior shortlist for this year’s Dezeen Awards. This includes interiors by Keiji Ashizawa, India Mahdavi, Mesura and Unknown Works.
The 49 shortlisted studios competing for the award in nine different interior project categories are spread across the UAE, Sweden, Hong Kong, Canada and Portugal.
The top five studio-represented countries are Japan with eight finalists, followed by the United Kingdom with five, and the United States, Spain, and Australia tied for four finalists.
