Our showroom renovation won a Gold Award in retail design at the 2008 Interior Design Institute of British Columbia (IDIBC) Awards of Excellence, which took place on February 10 at the Playhouse Theatre. Designed by Vancouver-based Splyce Design, the Salari showroom features a theatre-style gallery of rugs that are hung individually from the ceiling - a concept that breaks dramatically from the conventional carpet store. Splyce Design also won three additional awards, including Best in Show for the Salari showroom, which took the top honour in a field of more than 70 entries. The IDIBC Awards of Excellence celebrate the best in interior design across British Columbia. Local designers and architects are honoured for their work in a number of categories including residential, retail, and hospitality. A distinguished panel of judges with expertise in a number of disciplines selected the winners for the event. The Architectural Institute of BC Gallery will showcase the award winners in an exhibit running from February 24 to March 19, 8:30am to 5pm daily.

Presented by Canadian Business magazine, the Design Exchange Awards support Canadian design excellence and recognizes the vital role of design in all types of organizations, including large and small commerical entities, non-profits, and the public sector. A select panel of leading designers, community leaders, and business executives select the winners of each award in twelve categories. For more information, please visit http://www.dx.org/dxa. |
