Mobilising the design industry is no mean feat. Convincing designers to show an interest, get involved, engage and interact is not always the easiest of tasks – even when there’s free food and drink involved!
Which is one reason why we were so chuffed with the turnout for this year’s CID Awards. Battling downtown Dubai traffic at its most horrific, during one of the busiest weeks on the annual design calendar, representatives from nearly 40 of the region’s leading design firms gathered at the Park Hyatt on November 15 to help us celebrate the achievements of the interior design industry.
We would like to extend particular thanks to those who flew in especially for the ceremony, particularly Inoui Designs and Enrico Botta from Bahrain. Their presence went a long way in supporting our attempts to make this a more representative, regional event.
The breadth of turnout was matched only by the breadth of entries. There was a 100% increase in the number of projects nominated this year, as compared to last year. In some categories there were up to 30 projects entered for an award.
The geographical scope of entries was also unparalleled. From hotels in Morocco to sales centres in Tunisia, retail facilities in Damascus, offices in Jordan, hotels in Qatar and auditoria in Bahrain, the spread was truly impressive.
So, without coming across as overly gushing, thanks. To those who joined us on the night; to those who invested time and energy in putting their projects forward; to our judges for making a difficult job look easy; and to our sponsors for seeing value in what we do. Thank you all, for mobilising.
