Some awards recognize a result; others encapsulate an entire journey. The Best Original Design Award won by Sunset Biscuit at Casa Decor was a combination of both: recognition of the final design, but also of the effort, intuition, risk-taking, and teamwork that made possible one of the most memorable elements of the “Ibiza’s Soul” space.
The awards announcement came as a complete surprise. Although both the organizers and visitors had been providing very positive feedback about the flooring, no one took anything for granted. One phrase perfectly captured the team’s mindset: “We never thought we were going to win any award.” In interior design projects of this caliber—especially when working under tight deadlines and demanding technical requirements—the focus is usually on delivering successfully rather than imagining recognition.
That is why the reaction to the award was so genuine. As Laura Huerta, Antonio Guillamón, and Laura Pérez shared on our podcast “Espacios que Hablan”: “I couldn’t believe it.” The moment was marked by a sense of collective disbelief: exchanged glances among team members, surprise, laughter, and the feeling of experiencing something that had not yet fully sunk in. “But it’s us,” they recalled, as if the announcement needed a few extra seconds to become real.
The award held special significance because it recognized a piece deeply connected to the identity of the project. Sunset Biscuit was not an isolated decorative feature but rather the culmination of many decisions: inspiration drawn from Ibiza’s sunsets, a carefully curated color palette, organic forms, a genuine commitment to sustainability, and the use of materials that might otherwise remain outside the more conventional circuits of luxury design.
Within the world of luxury hospitality interior design, proposals like this point toward an interesting direction: design is no longer solely about perfection or flawless execution, but about character. Beauty can emerge from irregularity, from the unexpected, and from materials that are reimagined and elevated through a creative vision. That is precisely what happened with Sunset Biscuit.
The award also served as an emotional validation for the entire team. “It was an honor to receive the award,” they reflected, particularly when surrounded by fellow professionals and peers of such a high standard. Yet the excitement did not stem solely from external recognition; it also came from knowing that something which had required “so much time, so much care,” and such a strong sense of identity had resonated with both the jury and the public.
Then came the most human part of the experience: sharing the news with the rest of the team, celebrating together, and feeling “the warmth of the company” in response to the recognition. That internal dimension is also an essential part of the success of an interior design studio specializing in hospitality projects. Behind every award-winning piece are countless hours of work, conversations, doubts, quick decisions, and a collective confidence that the idea could succeed.
In the end, it was, as they described it, “a wonderful experience in every sense.” An award that celebrates not only an original design, but also a way of understanding interior design itself: through sensitivity, technical precision, and a clear commitment to creating spaces that leave a lasting impression.
