Five Interior Projects Win Best of Globe at 2026 Shaw Contract Design Awards
Five interior design projects have won Best of Globe at the 2026 Shaw Contract Design Awards, according to Dezeen, which reported the results on 10 November 2026.
Interior design is the work of planning and styling the inside of a building. Contract design focuses on spaces used by the public and by businesses, such as concert halls, offices and clubs. The Shaw Contract Design Awards are held every year by Shaw Contract, a flooring manufacturer. This year marks the 21st edition.
The winners were picked from nearly 550 submissions from around the world. Best of Globe is the awards' category for projects from any country.
Among the winners reported by Dezeen are:
- St Louis Symphony Orchestra Powell Hall in St Louis, USA, home of the St Louis Symphony Orchestra, a concert venue.
- We Labo 2F, an office for Okamura Corporation, a Japanese office furniture company.
- Diageo Gurugram Workplace, an office interior in Gurugram, India, designed by M Moser Associates.
- Missouri Athletic Club clubhouse revamp in the United States, completed by HOK, an architecture and design firm.
Each of these spaces has to work for the people inside it every day. Concert-goers, staff and club members all move through rooms that were designed with them in mind. The awards recognise that work, and the flooring and finishes that often sit underneath it.
For anyone planning a workplace or public building, the list offers a snapshot of current design across three continents. The projects range from a historic concert hall to a modern office floor. Shaw Contract's annual awards keep bringing these spaces into the public eye, one year at a time.
