2010 Solutia Interior Divison Winners
 The Barretts Group was presented with the 2010 World of Color Awards Honorable Mention trophy for the Interior Division Catergory.

Each of the project entries were reviewed by an international panel of architects and designers and evaluated on the following criteria.
- Creative use of laminated colour glass
- Relation to new and developing applications of laminated glass
- Overall aesthetics of project
- Degree of attention paid to laminated glass benefits
“Solutia have commented that the jury members were very impressed with our project and the seamless way the glass was integrated into the design”

Designer Peter Saville and architect David Adjaye collaborated on the new London headquarters of Kvadrat, a Danish textile company. A stunning staircase, set in a two-story industrial space, is like a bolt of lightening running the entire length of the space. It is framed by colored glass panels, which cast colored shadows over the concrete walls as the light changes throughout the day. A stunning spectrum of colored laminated glass interlayers, ranging from rich violet hues to light and airy blues, brings light and beauty to a desolate office space. The jurors commented on the clarity of the project, calling it "a strong statement made with few notes and careful editing."
