Corinthian comes out on top

16 December 2011

The Corinthian Club in Glasgow has won Best British Interior Design in Elle Decoration’s British Design Awards, with its interior designed by Graven Images.

Award judges described the 24 hour venue - which boasts numerous bars, restaurants and a casino - as "Without a doubt, the city's most dazzling spot for a stylish night out."

Last year the G1 Group's Corinthian Club underwent a multi-million pound renovation and reopened in August 2010 with Glasgow-based design consultancy Graven Images responsible for interior design.

The renovation saw the building's original features restored with lofty ceilings, intricate gold-leaf detailing and sculptural plasterwork. The layout was re-imagined creating a surprising mix of showpiece main halls, unique intimate rooms and breathtaking spaces throughout the venue's five floors. On Wednesday October 5th The Corinthian Club will, for a second time, host the official after-party for the MOBO awards.

Now in its tenth year, The British Design Awards (BDAs), recognise "beautiful, useful and original new work created by designers for UK and international brands". The iconic Glasgow venue fended off some tough competition in a public vote against Massimo Restaurant, the Oxford Circus Topman personal shopping suite and the Sergio Rossi Store.

Graven Images' Founding Director Ross Hunter says: "We really are chuffed to have won this award for our interior design of The Corinthian Club. To be honest, we're not usually ones for awards but to be recognised among design royalty such as David Collins and Ilse Crawford is brilliant."
