DESIGNER OF THE YEAR

SEBASTIAN HERKNER

With an illustrious career spanning almost fifteen years, Herkner religiously pursues quality, honesty and sustainability—a triad he translates every time into a new project. The 40-year old German designer employs an unusual combination of colours or a fresh concept of shapes to depict a modern interpretation of functionality. Website: sebastianherkner.com

YOUNG DESIGN TALENT OF THE YEAR

FEDERICA BIASI

A pioneer of the young brigade of designers, Biasi is a fully-fledged spokesperson of the Italian nouvelle vague. Exploring the industrial dimension of her work since her school years, her touch is soft and delicate, always imitable on a large scale, as the discipline teaches. Website: federicabiasi.com

INTERIOR DESIGNER OF THE YEAR

VINCENZO DE COTIIS

De Cotiis is a man who dons many hats in the field of design and architecture but it is in the interiors that his creative nature outshines one and all. Whether it is a house, a store, or a yacht, his instincts bestow a new character, unique identity, and distinctive features permeated with sensuality. Website: decotiis.it
