    THE PEOPLE AWARDS

    INTERIOR DESIGNER OF THE YEAR

    WINNER: ADAM BRAY

    With a penchant for crisp gloss finishes, rich-hued velvets and rare textiles, Adam Bray’s interiors are comfortable and unpretentious yet filled with character. A master at sourcing unexpected, eclectic furniture and objets d’art, the former antique dealer is also known for his bespoke pieces and distinctive colour palettes, which come together to create contemporary, luxurious and inviting spaces that always feel like home. Based in London with over 25 years’ experience working internationally on both residential and commercial projects, he has also collaborated on products and collections with Papers and Paints, Plain English, Vanderhurd and Hamilton Weston. ‘Adam’s interiors are endlessly inspirational and always full of character,’ says Tobias Vernon. ‘Drawn from endless differing periods and styles, every object, piece of furniture, textile and artwork has a sense of playfulness and integrity.’
