We look back at the Tatler Design Awards 2020
The inf luences of yesteryear reigned at the Tatler Design Awards 2020, which was all decked out to celebrate the styles of the past.
Guests dressed to match the theme, attired in bold patterns and vibrant tones that paid tribute to fashion trends across the decades.
At the event, the fourcourse dinner served by
Una was an exquisite symphony of flavours inspired by dishes from the Basque region in Spain and accompanied by floral arrangements from Fiore Dorato. This year’s 10 award categories were sponsored by Arova, Florim, Gallery 1819, Hunter Douglas, MM Galleri, Roche Bobois and Spin.

Among the notable attendees was Ed Ng, co-founder of AB Concept and a jury member of the Tatler Design Awards 2020. “As designers, we’re actually designing moments,” says Ng. “When we create an exciting project that touches your emotions, it creates a moment that becomes an important memory, and the memory (in turn) creates the motivation to come to or revisit this space.”
The top honours of the night included Design Project of the Year, which was awarded to Jewel Changi Airport. Another notable winner was Singapore-based practice Design Intervention, which clinched the Best
Use of Colour and the Best Bespoke Concept accolades.
“The impact of colour goes beyond aesthetics; it affects emotions. Harnessing it successfully is an art that we are particularly proud of,” says Andrea Savage, partner at Design Intervention, who accepted the award on the firm’s behalf.
Nikki Hunt, the founding partner of
Design Intervention, concurs. “Our belief is that your home should be a place that nurtures and restores you; every design decision is tailored to ref lect each client’s particular needs and aesthetic style. This is our aim for each and every project, so it is indeed an honour to win in these categories.”
