Interior design is fashionable and hotels have pointed to this trend. This was stated by Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, president of the jury of the International Hospitality Design Competition – InterCIDEC 2019, meeting this Thursday, October 17, at the Beltá & Frajumar facilities.
“There is a huge tendency to interior design. Before you thought about the house a lot; now, I think, you think more about hotels and it is an example of how this world of furniture is changing, one of the passions of my life”, she said.

The jury had to assess the quality of the 61 proposals submitted, coming from twelve countries. The theme of this edition was the design of the interior of a restaurant with less than 100 square meters. Its assessment punctuated the conceptual proposal; innovation in form, the composition of materials, the aesthetic value from a point of view of harmony and distribution; or accessibility for people with disabilities, among others.

“the consolidation of this competition for the quality of the projects, the number of proposals received, which has increased by about 40% over the previous edition, and greater internationalization upon receiving proposals from a dozen countries.”

The competition aims to show the talent in interior design and allows the creator, manufacturer and hotel owner to get in contact to establish synergies and collaborations.

Most of the interior design projects presented in this fourth edition correspond to the professional category (endowed with a single prize of 5,000 euros) and to a lesser extent the category of students (endowed with 1,000 euros).

The participation of the students attracted the attention of the renowned interior designer Andrea Spada, of ILMIODESIGN, who would have liked
“a greater participation in quantity and quality” with “innovation or freshness, by not being contaminated, and free souls” since “the professional often looks for trends and has this environmental pollution by his contact with the client,” he said. “I will appreciate what highlights,” he admitted.

Spain leads the number of proposals submitted, followed by Mexico, Argentina, and European countries such as France, the United Kingdom, Italy or the Netherlands. Some of them presented projects for the first time.
