Maltese-English architect Jonathan Mizzi and his Mizzi Studio team have been nominated for an international breakthrough talent award. 

“We are flattered - and quite shocked – to be nominated. It's a very prestigious award and to know that our work is being recognised on an international scale is very rewarding and motivating for us all at our studio,” said Mr Mizzi on being nominated for the 2017 FX Breakthrough Talent Award.

the winning team will be announced later this year at the awards ceremony in London. Organisers invite both British and international design talent from all over the world to enter the very best of interior products and projects.

The studio works multidisciplinary across all scales and sectors, creating architecture, industrial design, lighting, interactive design and commercial artworks. Among their most famous works are the 'teardrop' sculpture for the Mondrian Hotel Spa (a collaboration with renowned designer Tom Dixon) and the recent 'Awkward Series' furniture range, which is about to be exhibited at the London Design Festival 2017.
