The 2021 Mixology Awards

Evolution London is a purpose-built 5500m² events venue in the London Borough of Wandsworth. On Thursday 16 September, Evolution London was home to the celebrated annual Mixology Awards, organised and hosted by Mix Interiors, the UK’s leading publication for the commercial-interiors community. Aqua Libra Co was one of the sponsors.

The Mixology Awards, launched in 2005 by Mix Interiors, are the Oscars of commercial interiors. As 1,400 beautifully turned-out guests filled the huge, glittering room, there was a warm glow of anticipation. A frisson of excitement crackled around the 140 immaculately dressed tables.

Aqua Libra Co was represented by Liam Caulfield (Commercial Manager), Andrew Reeve (Sales Director), Steve Wooldridge (Head of Food Service and Hospitality), and Craig Brownlee (Specification Manager). The four shared a table with industry peers from BDG Architecture and Design, Gensler (winner of the Mixology Workplace Interiors Award 2020), and DV8 Designs (winner of the Mixology Bar and Leisure Interiors Award 2019).

Hotel Interior Awards 2020 and 2021 presented by Aqua Libra Co

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no Mixology Awards event in 2020. So, this year, there were awards for both 2020 and 2021. Craig Brownlee had the rather nerve-racking task of presenting the Hotel Interiors Awards for 2020 and 2021.

Conran and Partners is an architecture and interior-design practice renown for designing contemporary living spaces with distinctive personalities. This company was the winner of the 2020 Hotel Interiors Award for their Hotel Maximilian project in Prague, Czech Republic. Conran and Partners also won the 2021 Living Interiors Award for their Luma Hammersmith hotel project.

THDP, constructor of beautiful hotels that thrive in their local culture and heritage, was the winner of the 2021 Hotel Interiors Award. The award recognised their full interior design services for the refurbishment of the Terme di Saturnia Natural Destination in Tuscany, Italy.

Craig says …

“It was a lovely evening. The hospitality was marvellous, and it was great to catch up with old colleagues and friends from the water-dispense industry. After the awards ceremony, there was music, and most people got up and danced. I did! I’d been quite nervous, earlier on, about presenting the Hotel Interior Awards, and I’d been careful to drink very little. Having presented the awards – which was an incredible honour – I indulged in a few glasses of wine and really let my hair down.” [Editor’s note: no sniggering, please.] “One of the many highlights of the evening was the extremely entertaining Radio 6 DJ, Huey Morgan, from Fun Lovin’ Criminals. He was great.”
