FRAME Awards 2019 • Interior design is not a second-rate profession; it’s an industry worth honouring. But Frame Awards 2019 was about more than presenting prizes. During the judging and ensuing ceremony in Amsterdam, a gathering of great minds – jurors and nominees alike – considered where spatial design is heading.
