Award-winning DJ Black Coffee took to social media to share that his interior design work with International award-winning interior architect, Tristan du Plessis has been shortlisted at this year’s Awards for Hospitality Experience and Design (AHEAD) MEA.
Black Coffee tweeted: “Maybe hard to believe as it appears that I’m always in a pair of headphones, but I have many strong passions outside of the music and one of them is Interior design.”
He continued the thread: “So incredibly humbled and excited to share that our interior work with Tristan du Plessis on the Hallmark House in Johannesburg has been shortlisted for @AHEAD_Awards MEA’s 2022 calendar year! Humbled to be recognized with the world’s best in this space.”
The AHEAD MEA exists to celebrate global outstanding hospitality projects.
The “Drive” hitmaker, together with Du Plessis, has been shortlisted in the “Suites” category for The Penthouse Suite at Hallmark House Hotel in Johannesburg.
AHEAD’s prestigious panel of leading hoteliers, architects, designers and industry professionals will consider all the listed projects. Other shortlist projects in the category include: The Dubai Edition, UAE; Mango House Seychelles; LXR Hotels & Resorts, Seychelles and LUX* Grand Baie Resort & Residences, Mauritius.
This year, the judges are seeking projects that infuse creative vision with commercial viability, while pushing the boundaries of guest experience.
The winners will be announced at the AHEAD MEA ceremony on November 10 at W The Palm, Dubai.
Coffee’s fans took to the comments to congratulate the Grammy award winner.
