The winners of the 2013 Restaurant & Bar Design Awards were announced at a ceremony held at the Farmiloe Building in Clerkenwell, London, ahead of the London Design Festival.
Leading architects, interior and lighting designers, and hospitality operators from around the world gathered to recognise the latest innovative and inspiring designs to be found in the food and drink establishments in the UK and abroad. Now in their fifth year, the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards received 670 submissions from the UK and 60 other countries.
Höst in Denmark, by Norm Architects, took home the award for ‘Best Restaurant’, one of the most anticipated categories of the night, with the equally coveted award for ‘Best Bar’ going to Foster + Partners for the Atrium Champagne Bar at the new ME Hotel in London.
Marco Rebora, founder of the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards, said: “It’s very important to us that we celebrate those behind the design of the coolest new restaurants and bars in the world. This year’s finalists reflect exactly this, representing some of the most dynamic designs that the industry has to offer.”
This year’s winning entries were chosen by a judging panel of renowned personalities in the world of design, food, hospitality and lifestyle including Mourad Mazouz, restauranteur, Sketch; Tamara Lohan, founder and CTO of Mr & Mrs Smith; Sandy Suffield, creative director of Wolff Olins; and David Kester, director at Thames & Hudson and Stephen Alden, CEO of Maybourne Hotel Group.
