The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity at Lapicida, bouncing from awards and exhibitions to celebrations and exciting new additions. So much has happened, it’s almost impossible to know where to start. We’ll try though. Here goes.
HOUSE & GARDEN AWARDS
The season kicked off with MD Jason, along with Rebecca, Neil and Simon heading down to Mayfair in London for the House & Garden Top 100 Awards 2022.
Established to celebrate the very best talent in the interior design industry, the Top 100 awards were the perfect opportunity for our team to touch base with design professionals and our friends at House & Garden. We also had another reason to be there…
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD SPONSOR
This year, Lapicida were delighted to sponsor the House & Garden Lifetime Achievement Award. Jason was honoured to present the legendary interior designer David Mlinaric with the award.
David’s career is an inspiration to all. After graduating from The Bartlett School of Architecture, and working with Michael Inchbald and architect Dennis Lennon, he set up on his own in Chelsea at the epicentre of Swinging London. David has famously decorated some of the most exquisite interiors in the land, including Spencer House. Now at 83, David still continues to work with a few select clients.
“There is no one more deserving than David to receive this coveted Lifetime Achievement Award and it was a true highlight of my career to present the award and talk design with the great man.”

CERSAIE NEVER FAILS TO INSPIRE
Italy is renowned within the industry as a major producer of porcelain and ceramic tiles. In fact, many of our surfaces are manufactured for Lapicida in Italy.
One of the major exhibitions of the calendar is the Cersaie Fair – the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings, which is held in Bologna.
Cersaie is vast. 14 exhibition halls. 140,000 square metres. Five days. There is everything from ceramic surfaces, wood floors, wallpaper and bathroom furnishings.
Jason was in his element, catching up on all the exciting new design ideas and the advances in manufacturing technologies which bring them to fruition. So much caught Jason’s eye this year.
“Everywhere you turn at Cersaie, there is something genuinely original and arresting. It’s inspiring yet exhausting in equal measures, but in a good way. If you ever get the chance to attend, don’t let it slip through your hands.”

DECOREX DELIVERED
Molly and Rebecca were up, out and on the early train to London on Tuesday for a whistle-stop tour of Decorex International 2022 at Olympia.
Decorex is a high-end interior design exhibition for luxury brands which brings together the best of the design community and over 200 exhibitors and 80 speakers from 74 countries. It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet makers in interiors, see exciting new ideas and also chat freely with peers and clients.
Molly and Rebecca were not disappointed.
“It was an inspiring day, a great opportunity to keep your finger on the pulse of what’s happening within the world of interiors and tapping into emerging trends. It was lovely to see lots of patterns, colours and textures. You can’t help but come away buzzing with ideas!”
Molly, Marketing Manager
