Archiproducts Design Awards 2023 , Mailand / Italien

Press release

 

 

The Archiproducts Design Awards honour the State of the Art in Design. The great international event enhances the special synergy between brands and designers.

 

“It's a not-to-be-missed global design competition and a unique opportunity to meet an international, passionate, and extraordinarily profiled community," states Creative Director of Archiproducts, Enzo Maiorano.

 

Each brand can nominate up to 5 products, from furniture to lighting, contract, and building, and can also apply for the “Sustainability” Award dedicated to eco-innovative products.

 

 

Now in its eighth edition, the Archiproducts Design Awards bring together new jury members, additional recognitions for designers, and the Sustainability Award.

 

The most influential architects, designers, creative directors, and editors worldwide will evaluate the nominated products and choose the winners of this edition. Hannes Peer, Kelly Wearstler, Nina Yashar, Pietro Terzini, Tim Fu, Manuel Aires Mateus, Giovanna Castiglioni, and Satoshi Kurosaki are just some of the jurors who will interpret the products in terms of their aesthetics and content.

 

“Occasions like these Awards help us understand where we are, the speed at which we are moving, and the direction we are taking - to correct our course if necessary," Giorgio Donà said.

 

A second prestigious jury of experts in sustainable design will award the products that stand out for circular and eco-design. Formafantasma, Tao Zhang, Rossana Orlandi and Nicoletta Brugnoni, PROWL Studio, Kasper Guldager, Shujan Bertrand, Retrouvius and Giulio Bonazzi will select those brands committed to minimizing pollutant emissions and the environmental impacts of their products by using recyclable materials.

 

Their mission is to inspire and enable to embrace sustainability and reuse as a design preference and lifestyle choice, because “patina, scars and wrinkles communicate the texture of time and use. Recycled materials have a tactile personality and an emotional value that make them unique and fundamental," states Adam Hills and Maria Speake, founders of Retrouvius.

Every year, Archiproducts celebrates all winning brands and designers of the winning products.

 

The Brand Award is made by Spanish studio MUT Design with De Castelli metal. A design inspired by the “Möbius strip”: a three-dimensional shape that celebrates the encounter of ideas, tools, and craftsmanship. Collaboration with Salvatori has also been confirmed for the Designer Award: the marble monolith by Michael Anastassiades, inspired by the ADA logo.

 

The Sustainability Award is dedicated to products that aim to create a sustainable impact in the world of Design. A sculpture designed by the AMDL CIRCLE studio, headed by Michele De Lucchi, and produced by Riva 1920 in Lebanese cedar.

In October, the long list will be announced for the final stage of the awards. Winners will be declared in November 2023.

 

The international design competition is organized by Archiproducts with the aim of recognizing and celebrating excellence in design across a broad range of categories.

Particularly, the Archiproducts Design Awards reward those products that, by means of new materials, shapes, or functions, can revolutionize and improve life quality today and tomorrow.
