European leader in visual communication solutions, packaging and paper distribution, Antalis organised the first edition of the Antalis Interior Design Award, a competition for interior design professionals (printers, advertisers, interior designers and architects). Open to project submissions since September 2017, this competition allowed participants to submit their designs until 31 December 2017. An essential condition for being among the candidates was to submit designs using at least one product from the Antalis Coala range.
As a result, a number of winners were announced on 21 January 2018. A jury made up of eminent names in design such as Bénédicte Duhale, Chief Director of Intamuros or Damien Perrot, Design Director of the AccorHotels group drew up the list of award-winning designers in this competition.
The projects
This section, divided into six categories, brought together projects that had already been designed.
HABITAT
The winner of this category, Christophe Koziel, wanted to highlight the atmosphere of Haussmann flats, symbols of Parisian chic in terms of architecture. Through his work, Koziel reveals the history of decorative arts in France.
ESTABLISHMENTS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
The designers of the Strandings Museum approached DAMGAARD-JENSEN A/S, a design company at the very beginning of the design of the site, to develop a more modern way of sharing the stories of the museum by integrating it directly into the building. To achieve this, designer Denis Laustsen used the Coala wallpaper and added lightning to certain parts of the decoration.
OFFICE
John Hardaker from GRAPHICOMM DIGITAL was tasked with concealing a 6-metre container on a businessman’s property in Cornwall, UK. After visiting the site and taking a number of photographs, the chosen solution was to apply Antalis’ Coala 2D vinyl and matt laminate to the surface of the container.
RESTAURANT
Jacek Zmuda of MEBLOMEX SP Z O.O was responsible for the interior design of the restaurant at theAC Hotel in Vroclaw, which occupies a historic building dating from 1875. He placed a number of images on Coala Canvas W. HPL laminates, which give the impression of natural wood, slate and quartz.
HOTELLERIE
Pedros Bastos won the competition for this category by bringing his touch to L’International Hotel Chain Bedrooms, a Mexican hotel chain that wanted to decorate its rooms with prints from a collection of fish. The right choice of paper had to be made to ensure the success of this operation.
SHOP
The Daniels boutique in Cologne benefited from the Coala walldesign NW and Coala ClearTack UV ranges for mountain landscape graphics designed using UV printing. Winner Jörg Stein received logistical support from his COMEXPO team to carry out this assignment.
3D projects on model in white

OFFICE
The winner of this category, Charlotte Liénard, used Antalis products to custom-make two wall-art printed walls. A geometric print focusing on purple and burgundy tones, stimulating and friendly colours for a workplace.
