SA interior design scoops international award for work in Africa

The company, which belongs to Mossel Bay's Miranda Meyer and has offices in Mossel Bay, Cape Town and Lagos, was the highest scoring interior design company for the Africa region.

“We received the highest score for both of our entries from Nigeria, which secured us the 1st and 2nd places in the regional and national awards,” said Meyer. “Our design for the law offices received a five-star rating and Harrow Park got four stars.”

“This means that we are now an international nominee for the World's Best Interior Design Award, which will be announced in San Diego on the 12 November.”

Proudly African, Proudly Mossel Bay

MM Interiors has won three previous World's Best Interior Design Awards and has completed a total of 18 projects in Nigeria. The company has also completed commissions in Angola, Mozambique, São Tomé and South Africa, but Meyer said that she is particularly fond of working in Nigeria.

"As an interior designer you have to have vision to be successful and in my vision I see a new Nigeria rising through the dirt and chaos. I think if I get to choose between a project in Dubai or Lagos, Lagos will win my vote without thinking twice about the offer."

MM Interiors provides corporate and domestic interior design services, space planning, shop fitting, conference and training room furniture, custom designed office furniture, demountable partitioning, carpeting and curtaining, framed graphics, chairs and soft furniture to residential, corporate and mixed-use developments such as hotels, apartments and offices.

Mossel Bay Tourism's Marcia Holm congratulated Meyer on behalf of the company's Proud Mossel Bay Campaign.

“Proud Mossel Bay seeks to build our community by recognising locals who raise the bar through excellence and achievement in their chosen fields,” she said. “Meyer and MM Interiors have certainly done this with these awards and we wish them every success in San Diego.”
