‘With regard to the “Capas” project, the jury has highlighted the realistic expression of a chair, appreciating the contrast between its simple, tectonic and compact structure, which is gently complemented with a folded surface that acts as a backrest and a seat.’

‘Regarding the “Twin Chair” project, the jury has appreciated the conceptual idea behind the piece, the design of which combines a dual function: it acts as chair and as a table, which transforms it into an icon and an object capable of creating surprise. It is a radical design and a piece that brings together complexity and aesthetics. ‘
Honorable Mention: table by Christina Perdikaki
‘The jury has pointed out the intelligent construction of this table and has highlighted its honesty, clarity and austere design. Its “Low tech” character converts it into a functional, easy-to-produce design. The jury recommended further study and development in order to optimize and define the details, proportions and its materialization.’
