The shortlisted entries for the 2013 edition of the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards have been announced. The independent, annual awards programme is dedicated to celebrating the best food and beverage spaces from around the globe, and features projects from some of the world’s leading architects, interior and lighting designers and hospitality operators.
Currently in its fifth year, the 2013 awards received 670 submissions from the UK and 60 other countries. The shortlist (listed below) consists of 190 projects across 27 categories. The finalists of the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards will be announced during a ceremony at London’s Farmiloe Building on 12th September.
This year’s event will feature The Box Project – a unique concept in which past Best Restaurant and Best Bar award winners have been invited to create four themed bar areas using only white products, which are being supplied by sponsors and partners of this year’s awards. The Restaurant & Bar Design Awards’ team of event partners will be designing the fifth area, the main ceremonial stage and pop-up food space.
Tickets to the event will go on sale on 1st July.
