Unveiling jury line-up for BCI Interior Design Awards 2023!

Shining a spotlight on human-centred interiors, the BCI Interior Design Awards (IDA) 2023 zoom in on spaces that empower users to reside, engage and enrich their lives joyfully and meaningfully.

The designs should illustrate a deep understanding of the users’ psyche, behaviour, habits and preferences—be it at home, at work or at play.

To define these interiors, we have selected a jury line-up made up of industry leaders.
