Recognition of world’s design excellence

The Archiproducts Design Awards celebrate excellence in design at a global level, acknowledging those products that represent an exemplary synergy between creativity, sustainability and innovation, championing the future of design through research and quality.

This award, achieved by Neolith Ignea model in the Sustainability category, recognises products that stand out for their use of recycled materials and eco-efficient production techniques that minimise environmental impact throughout their entire life cycle.

Composed of up to 98% recycled materials, Neolith Ignea exemplifies Neolith’s leadership in the transition towards a circular economy. This model has been designed with a deep inspiration from nature and an aesthetic that evokes the strength and beauty of volcanic landscapes. Its distinctive colour and texture, enhanced with a Riverwashed finish, make Ignea a sophisticated choice for projects seeking a balance between cutting-edge design and environmental commitment.

“The Archiproducts Design Awards recognise our efforts to create sustainable architectural solutions without compromising on quality or aesthetics,” comments Edoardo Passarini, VP EMEA at Neolith. “This award reflects our purpose to lead the way towards a more conscious design, integrating sustainable practices that reduce the carbon footprint and optimise the use of resources. At Neolith, we believe in the importance of creating products that, in addition to being beautiful and functional, respect and protect our environment,” he adds.
