This year, as the award reaches its 30th edition, it returns to Britain, with British designer Ben Pentreath (pictured) named the 30th Andrew Martin International Interior Designer of the Year

Ben says, “On the 30th anniversary of the Andrew Martin awards, it’s rather amazing, and deeply flattering, to have been included in this stellar list of truly global interior design practices.

The 30th edition of the Andrew Martin Interior Design Review brings together this year’s top 100 designers, in a celebratory, forward-looking edition that captures cutting-edge interiors from every corner of the world. From minimalist urban lofts to opulent country estates, from bold boutique hotels to serene coastal retreats, presenting the spaces and designers shaping how we live today, and tomorrow
