“We won't give it away but, it was a great debate, and we think the Supreme Winner choice really encapsulates both, it is about principle and it is also about aesthetics, we think that's what you want from a Supreme Winner,” said Jonathan Hagos & Nasim Koerting, co-chairs of the 2023 judging panel.

Surface Design Show is the UK’s leading event for architects and designers to explore the best in surface material innovation. It takes place on 7-9 February 2023 at the Business Design Centre in London’s Islington.
