Many thanks to our 2018 Interior Awards sponsors.

A special thanks to our event partners.
Almost 400 designers, architects, sponsors and judges came out to celebrate the best of New Zealand’s commercial interiors. Award-winning comedians Jesse Griffin and Jackie van Beek brought plenty of laughs and the night was not complete without our event partners, Mt Difficulty wines, McLeod’s Brewery beers and cocktails from Victor Gin. Motion graphic artists Mulk put on a spectacular display of projection mapping on the walls of the church.
