The Alpine Interior Award was awarded for the first time in 2011. This newly created interior design award is dedicated to the best architectural interiors of the cross-country cultural area of the Alps. All architects and interior designers of the Alpine region were invited to submit their own projects. All prize winners were presented in an exhibition as part of the “DESIGN LINZ” international trade and public fair from 19 to 22 May 2011. You can see pictures of the exhibition and the prize-giving ceremony here.
