After evaluating over 750 submissions from all over the world, the winners of the 2022 Archiproducts Design Awards have been revealed. Judged and chosen by a jury panel made up of the leading figures in Architecture and Design, the winning entries stood out for their unique concept and represent the excellence in creativity, technology and research.

Le Mura, designed by Mario Bellini

The project Le Mura by Mario Bellini represents the manifesto of a radical design that went through all the Italian 70s: design was as an answer to questions not only of aesthetics, proportions or ergonomics, but also of social content. The result is a project of inexhaustible strength, that does not wear out after fifty years. The theme of modularity is central, and is already expressed by the name chosen for this sofa system: just as the large boulders that made up the imposing Roman walls, the seating elements come together in the design in a theoretically infinite process. This way, the sofa lends itself to small but also very large environments, without ever losing its stylistic aspect.
