Mirra Bellevue Recognized at the 54th International Design Awards
Mirra Bellevue has been honored by the Retail Design Institute (RDI) at the 54th International Design Awards, held at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.
This global event recognizes excellence in retail and experiential design across eight countries and 25 U.S. states — and this year, Mirra proudly took home two Merit Awards for Community Activation & Engagement and Technology.
Redefining Social Entertainment Through Design
Designed by Graphite Design Group, Mirra Bellevue isn't just another venue — it's a fully immersive entertainment environment that blends cutting-edge technology, architecture, and storytelling. From its 1,750 sq. ft. 8K LED wall system to its dynamic VR party games and social bar experience, every element is built to engage and connect people through shared moments.
These awards recognize how Mirra transforms digital interactivity and physical space into a community experience, creating a social destination unlike anything else in Bellevue or the Pacific Northwest.
Celebrating Innovation in Community & Technology
The Community Activation & Engagement award highlights Mirra's ability to bring people together — from birthday celebrations and corporate team events to nightlife and public gatherings.
Meanwhile, the Technology Merit Award celebrates Mirra's pioneering use of interactive systems, lighting, and immersive digital environments to enhance the guest experience.
Both honors reflect the venue's commitment to redefining social entertainment through design, innovation, and collaboration.
A Shared Achievement
Mirra's success at the RDI Awards is also a recognition of the creative partnership with Graphite Design Group, whose expertise in spatial storytelling and architectural design helped bring the Mirra concept to life.
"We wanted Mirra to feel alive — where light, motion, and interaction become part of the story." — Graphite Design Group
