We are honoured to share that BLINK has been shortlisted in three categories at the inaugural Sustainability Design Awards 2026, presented by Hospitality Interiors Magazine.

Our work for Six Senses Kyoto has been recognised for Boutique Hotel: Project of the Year. The design draws inspiration from the Heian era and reinterprets it through a focus on wellness, craftsmanship, and a considered approach to sustainability.

We are also shortlisted for Design Studio of the Year and Clint Nagata for Interior Designer of the Year, which reflects the care, creativity and collaboration behind everything we do.

For us, sustainability starts with people. It is about designing spaces that support culture, community and connection, and creating in ways that respect both people and planet. The same thinking guides how we invest in our team, through initiatives such as our our S.W.A.P. global exchange programme with Keiji Ashizawa Design and the “A Wish to Remember” legacy project.

Thank you to the judges for the recognition. We look forward to continuing our commitment to sustainable, meaningful design and celebrating excellence within the industry alongside our peers.
