Originated in the United Kingdom, it was founded in 1996 by Mr. Martin Waller. Different from other international awards, the jury of the award is composed of elites from various sectors of the society, such as the British royal family, columnists, Hollywood stars, bankers, fashion designers and so on. The unique perspective and judging mechanism make the awards have unparalleled social representation, fairness and authority. The grand prize is hailed as the “Oscar” of the interior design industry by the international mainstream media such as “TIME” in the United States, “The Times” in the United Kingdom, and the BBC. Every year, it attracts the active participation of design from all over the world. Regardless of international design masters or industry newcomers, they have been recognized by the international mainstream life circle on the platform of the award, won an international reputation, and conducted high-level international design exchange and cooperation.
In 2006, the grand prize was officially introduced into China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan), and was continuously promoted. More and more Chinese designers are actively participating and show the world the charm of Chinese design through awards. China Design has won wide recognition in the Andrew Martin International Interior Design Awards with its own unique design context and expression.
