FRAME AWARDS 2020 WINNERS REVEALED

WONDERWALL FOUNDER MASAMICHI KATAYAMA HONOURED WITH THE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD 2020

On Thursday 20 February 2020, the winners of the Frame Awards 2020 were announced. During the Frame Awards day festival programme on 19 & 20 February, the nominees defended their work publicly during the live judging sessions before the category juries of international designers, architects, and business leaders. After the deliberation, the juries privately selected the best interiors of 2018 and 2019 that would later be revealed.

Neri&Hu Design, D/DOCK, Raul Sanchez Architects and GG Loop were among the winners at the third edition of the Frame Awards. More than seventy winners were recognized from across the Spatial, Executional and Societal categories on Thursday 20 February at B.Building in Amsterdam. Four additional winners received the Honorary Frame Awards, including Lifetime Achievement Award winner Masamichi Katayama, Designer of the Year Note Design Studio, Emerging Designer of the Year Roth Architecture and Client of the Year, Galleries Lafayette.

The work was judged not only by fellow designers but by leaders from all industries: retail brands, hospitality providers, cultural institutions, corporations, and educators.
The prestigious panel of international jury members included Marcel Wanders (Studio Marcel Wanders), Mels Crouwel (Bentham Crouwel Architects), Ivy Ross (Google), Ramona Bonkar Bannayan (MoMA), Daniel Heckscher (Note Design Studio), Kave Pour (Space10), Keslea Crawford and Antonin Yuji Maeno (Cutwork). In addition, more than 32,000 votes were cast by Frame’s worldwide audience, who selected the winners of the People’s Choice in each award category.

To determine the winners, the jury deliberated both the aesthetic, functional and innovative merit of each project.

In addition to the Frame Awards Jury Prize, the winners of People’s Choice Awards were also announced live on stage after several months of public vote campaigning. The people’s vote campaign received an unprecedented 32,000 plus votes in its most successful iteration yet. While in a Frame Awards first, the Instagram nominees take-over resulted in McDonald’s Kitchen in the Sky by Landini Associates winning the prize for Best Engagement. Frame founder and director Robert Thiemann hosted the celebrations and prize-giving ceremony at the Frame Awards Show in B.Building Amsterdam. Over 350 guests from London to Tokyo enjoyed the spectacular culmination of the 2020 Frame Awards with the crème de la crème of the interior design and architecture world in attendance.

The Frame Awards marks a new era for Frame, as the company expands beyond print publication and forges a new path in contemporary media and events with an innovative production that adds a new physical dimension to the brand.
