The IDEA 2021 shortlist reveal continues today with the Retail, Workplace and Sustainability categories.

All shortlisted projects are listed below, each with a link to a dedicated page on the IDEA website where you can find more images and information about each project.

We’ll be announcing all the shortlisted categories this week and next.

Yesterday we shared the shortlisted projects in our two Object – Furniture and Lighting categories.

Tomorrow, the first week of shortlist reveals ends with Colour, International and Hospitality. We’ll be back on Monday 27 September with the final two residential categories.

Shortlisted projects were selected by our editorial team. A further round of judging by our judges David Flack, Jean-Paul Ghougassian, Meryl Hare, Domino Risch, Chelsea Hing, Ryan Genesin and Brahman Perera will determine the category winners, which will be announced in late November.
