Wallpaper 4

Last year, Wallpaper* invited creatives to submit work for the

Antalis Interior Design Awards. A leading European distributor

of paper, packaging and visual communication products, Antalis

helps designers to push creative boundaries. With the interior

design industry a growing part of its business, the group devised

the competition to showcase new talent. The competitors’

projects, which had to feature at least one product from

Antalis’ Coala catalogue, were pored over by a jury that included

scenographer François Confino and Wallpaper* Bespoke

art director Aneel Kalsi. Here are the winners, who reimagined

everything from alpine chalets to shipping containers.
