World of Interiors Winners

Asking a designer where that first spark of inspiration came from often elicits a fascinating reply. Boussac’s new Cartoon collection from Pierre Frey – winner of The World of Interiors‘ Award at Focus/17 – gives a nod to the 80s. The playfulness and strong geometrics favoured by the Memphis Group are evoked in ‘Nestor’, a large reversible check in wool mohair and alpaca (pictured), and the collection also includes ‘Puzzle’, a padded velvet with a jigsaw-puzzle pattern, ‘Astro’, a vivid wool chevron in a carnival of colours and ‘Mongolia’, a faux Mongolian lambskin.

The World of Interiors’ editor Rupert Thomas handed out the award during Focus/17, along with several Highly Commended awards, which were given to Oscar de La Renta’s fabric collection for Lee Jofa, from GP & J Baker; Alfonso Marina’s secretaire, from Paolo Moschino for Nicholas Haslam Ltd; Davidson’s ‘Aspen’ table; and the Bloom & Berries collection by Raoul Textiles, from Turnell & Gigon.
