POP Go Restaurant & Bar Design Awards as 2019 shortlist is announced

The Restaurant & Bar Design Awards for 2019 is now open. The winners will be announced in October at London’s King’s Cross.
 
With a different theme every year, the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards ceremony is a unique event focused on innovation, design and performance.
 
Now in its eleventh year and with entries from over 70 countries worldwide, it covers every imaginable space, from ships to airports, museums to burger vans, from revered Michelin-starred establishments to the fleeting dynamism of pop-ups. Designed by &Smith, this edition of the Awards ceremony is called ‘POP’.
 

To be hosted by Harry McKinley, this year’s event will be attended by over 600 of the most influential architects, designers, lighting designers, and restaurant & bar operators involved in the creation of amazing food and beverage spaces.
 
A mirrored Shortlisted plaque will offer each shortlisted recipient the opportunity to ‘Become Pop’, the surface reflecting back through the striking graphic pattern that will be a key feature of this year’s event. The plaque is sponsored by Portview & Noble Russell.
 
The shortlist includes 329 entries from 276 projects in 43 different categories. See the full list here.
