BIID Industry Partners Offer Students the Chance to Design at Independent Hotel Show
For the second year running, BIID Industry Partner, Hansgrohe, will have a prominent presence at the Independent Hotel Show with a large exhibition stand and sponsorship of the central networking area – the ‘Hansgrohe Guest Lounge.’
Students of interior design will also have the chance to play a major role this year by entering the competition to design Hansgrohe’s Guest Lounge. Measuring 9 x 9 metres and with capacity for around 35 guests, the area provides an oasis away from the bustle of the exhibition floor and exudes all the style and comfort that is conducive to the luxury boutique hotel sector and the Hansgrohe brand.
To enter, students should register their interest by Friday 26th June by emailing marketing@hansgrohe.co.uk and be able to submit their final design by Friday 31st July.
The Winner Receives:
The winning entry will be chosen by a panel of esteemed judges and will be given a budget to fit-out the space. In addition to the thrill of seeing their design realised and enjoyed by hundreds of VIP guests during the show, the winner will have the opportunity to network with senior figures in the luxury hotel sector and benefit from the PR campaign to promote the winning design.
They will also have their own special and personal introduction to the world of Hansgrohe bathrooms by choosing products up to the value of £1,000.
To receive the full competition brief please contact marketing@hansgrohe.co.uk.
