\"\"Hayon will judge this year’s interiors entries<\/p>\n

Joining this year’s interiors panel is internationally acclaimed Spanish artist and designer Hayon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With a practice straddling the boundary between fine art and design, Hayon’s work typically blends bold shapes, colors, and motifs into his “serious fun” style<\/a>, which is often set in a world of fantasy characters and creatures.<\/p>\n

Notable collections include Hayon’s work for brands such as BD Barcelona<\/a>, Fritz Hansen<\/a> and Cassina<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hayon has also completed a number of interiors including The Standard Asia’s flagship hotel in Bangkok<\/a> and\u00a0Fritz Hansen’s first ever store in China<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Miriam Fanning is principal of Australian multi-disciplinary interior design studio Mim Design<\/p>\n

Australian interior designer Fanning, founder and principal of Mim Design<\/a>, will sit on the interiors judging panel this year alongside Hayon.<\/p>\n

Fanning’s studio works across a range of design projects from high-end single and multi-residential homes through to hospitality, hotel, showrooms and large-scale retail.<\/p>\n

Recent projects include a cafe and bar conceived as a “greenhouse sanctuary”<\/a> in Melbourne and a light-filled open-plan office renovation<\/a> also in the city.<\/p>\n

The studio, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2021, recently expanded into luxury hotel projects, styling and curation as well as custom-designed furniture.<\/p>\n

\"\"Tamura will judge Dezeen Awards 2026<\/p>\n

Joining this year’s design panel is Tamura<\/a>, whose work ranges from product design to installations and spatial design.<\/p>\n

Based between Tokyo<\/a> and New York<\/a>, Tamura’s practice considers how design can connect people, cultures and experiences.<\/p>\n

The designer has exhibited globally at institutions including the Palais de Tokyo<\/a> in Paris, Kyocera Museum of Art in Kyoto<\/a> and Salone del Mobile<\/a> in Milan where she presented an aluminium bench informed by the craft of kimono making<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Other notable projects include a vibrant red triangular toilet block for the Tokyo Toilet project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Arienzo, co-founder of Lanza Atelier, will judge Dezeen Awards 2026<\/p>\n

Co-founder of Mexico City-based Lanza Atelier<\/a>, Arienzo will join the architecture panel for Dezeen Awards 2026.<\/p>\n

Founded alongside architect Isabel Abascal, Lanza Atelier’s portfolio spans furniture and exhibitions to houses and pavilions, unified by a focus on craft, collaboration and local context, and an ambition to challenge convention.<\/p>\n

Lanza Atelier was recently revealed as this year’s Serpentine Pavilion architect<\/a>. Speaking to Dezeen, Arienzo remarked on feeling part of an era of “new Mexican architecture”<\/a>, placing Mexico at the forefront of the industry.<\/p>\n

The studio also showcased a diverse collection of furniture during Mexico City art week, featuring a wide range of furniture created from different reused materials such as rebar and sail fabric<\/a>.<\/p>\n
