Ideas4wood 2024
The Ideas4wood – Carpanelli Award is an international competition that allows us to look to the future by enhancing our roots, combining tradition and innovation.
Designing a design object starting from the knowledge and enhancement of precious woods is a compelling design process that has put numerous young and emerging designers to the test on the one hand and students from the best universities and design academies on the other.
Numerous projects were presented, the best proposals were selected and awarded by the Jury. Some of the most promising designs have been prototyped and are now part of our official collections.
