Before planning your next trip, be sure to review the new crop of Travel + Leisure Design Award winners. Announced this week and appearing in the magazine’s March issue, the 2011 winners range from a far-flung dining destination (Table No. 1 in Shanghai, designed by Neri & Hu) to the ultimate in travel-friendly apparel (Patagonia’s M10 Jacket and Ultralight Down Shirt). Many of this year’s favorites will come as no surprise, including the Pantone Hotel in Brussels, the Yves Behar-designed Jawbone Jambox, and, of course, the iPad. Rick Mather‘s extraordinary expansion of the Ashmolean, the oldest public museum in the United Kingdom, got the nod for Best Museum, while Herzog & de Meuron’s 11 11 Lincoln Road won for Best Mixed-Use Venue. And right down the road from the parking lot-cum-retail hub is the pride and joy of this year’s Design Champion, ubercollector Micky Wolfson, who joins past honorees such as André Balazs and Amanda Burden. Tasked with choosing “the best new examples of design” in 16 categories was a jury that included fashion designer Norma Kamali, IDEO partner Fred Dust, crystals magnate Nadja Swarovski, and David Childs, chairman emeritus of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.
