The INSIDE World Festival of Interiors stems from the World Architecture Festival, which judges interiors from world-class designers and adjusts the scope to the modern age of social media.

“INSIDE has been a growing part of the overall World Architecture Festival program since 2012 and continues to grow in terms of quantity and quality,” says Paul Finch, World Architecture Festival director. “We are delighted with the intriguing designs and geographical spread of this year’s entries and look forward to the live judging in Amsterdam.”

Some of the early top contenders in the Bars and Restaurants sector include Copenhagen, Denmark’s Noma restaurant, which features greenhouse themes and a culinary village. Another is Manhattan, N.Y.’s Büro Ole Scheeren, which will display a fast-food setting that highlights a white Corian and steel centrepiece, celebrating the artistic factors in the food industry.

Another category to be on the lookout for is Civic, Culture and Transportation. Some featured themes will include a library that showcases Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, which can be found in Singapore. Another is a beautifully adorned wedding chapel in Japan in the shape of a glass cloud.
