Still taking it all in. ✨
A few days ago, I had the incredible honour of attending the ICONIC AWARDS 2026 in Munich and stepping onto the stage to receive our Best of Best in Interior Design award.
Receiving the award from Lutz Dietzold, CEO of the German Design Council, was a truly special moment — one that I will remember for a long time.
But the evening was about much more than an award. It was an inspiring gathering of architects, interior designers, creatives and industry leaders from all over the world, with thought-provoking conversations, project presentations and discussions about where architecture and design are heading.
The 2026 edition brought together around 800 entries from more than 45 countries, with only 45 projects receiving the Best of Best distinction — making this recognition even more meaningful to us.
I was especially inspired by the conversations around how design can respond to the challenges of our time through a more thoughtful relationship with place, materials, light, use and responsibility. These are precisely the questions that continue to shape the way we approach our own work.
And beyond the stage, it was a pleasure to meet so many inspiring people and to share this moment with fellow designers and architects.
A very special thank you to the German Design Council and the ICONIC AWARDS jury for this recognition, and to everyone who contributed to making our project what it is.
Still overwhelmed. Still grateful. And very proud of our studio. 🤍
