Ideasxwood 2023

The Carpanelli Ideasxwood 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 hancement 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.

CARPANELLI, company of furniture with 100 years of history dedicated to high-level cabinetmaking, within the 5th edition of the Design Contest IDEASxWOOD 2022/2023 promotes Carpanelli Award “A NEW TOUCH OF ELEGANCE”.

Every single project must aim to create a piece of furniture included in one of the following categories:

• TABLES / END TABLES / COFFEE TABLES
• DESKS / WRITING DESKS
• BEDS

and that pays attention to:

• research on current trends in the furniture industry (a new touch)
• to a current concept of elegance understood as use of precious and eco-sustainable materials, as search of the details and as craftsmanship of the workings (of elegance)
