Every year, the judging of the Andrew Martin International Interior Designer of the Year Award is a fiendish assignment. This year the task was bravely undertaken by the wonderful husband and wife team of Stanley Tucci and Felicity Blunt. They were, of course, a delight and we are very grateful to them both.
