With the end of the year coming to a close, now is the time to reflect and celebrate the past year’s best examples of interior design, and what better way to do so than the SBID International Design Awards. Last month, Inex was invited to the prestigious awards and witnessed first-hand the very best of interior design in the UK and worldwide. Turn to page 8 to find out more on the esteemed award ceremony and who picked up their glistening trophies.

Meanwhile on page 40, Inex talks to Maria and Ekaterina Yaschuk, Founders of wallpaper and fabric company Meystyle, about their LED-integrated wallpapers. Lighting up walls in projects worldwide from Paris to Kazakhstan, these innovative wallcoverings’ light-emitting aesthetics provide interior designers with creative solutions for every interior category.

Elsewhere in this issue, Inex puts Maurizio Pellizzoni in the hot seat, where he explains how his role within Ralph Lauren’s creative team still inspires his designs today, Plankbridge Hutmakers takes readers to Anne Jennings’ magical, romantic garden in Chelsea where a Victorian children’s hut sits amongst an overgrown paradise and Bessa’s head designer talks us through the company’s take on the traditional chesterfield sofa.
