December '08 News

SHH are celebrating the end of a great year of awards success with no less than three further wins at the prestigious ICIAD (International Council of Interior Architects and Designers) ‘Ring’ Awards, held on December 2nd in Guangzhou, China.  The awards were hotly contested and featured submissions from major practices from all over the world.  SHH’s Managing Director Graham Harris was on hand to receive two category awards: a gold award for champagne bar Dion in the ‘Best Bar’ category and a silver award for St Petersburg cafe concept Teaspoon in the ‘Best Restaurant’ category.  The evening did not stop there, however, and, at the end of the night, the Silver Grand Award for the runner-up best project of the whole evening was given to our recent office project, Manchester Square. 

The ICIAD began as an independent design movement in America to promote the awareness of art, design and the appreciation of aesthetic beauty and now ‘sets the global standards for the design industry’.  Judges at the awards included the President of the French FNSAI, the President of the American International Interior Design Association, the MD of the German iF (International Forum Design), the Principal Partner of DEGW (Australia), the Principal Partner of Figure 3 (Canada) and leading academics from Ireland, Austria and Germany.
