The 20 most interesting awards at the Wallpaper* International Edition Design Awards 2022

Unlike the seriousness of the jury's selection of wallpaper* international edition design awards, the Editors' Choice Awards cover more categories, focusing on fun and social media communication while focusing on design and creativity.

The 20 groups of works that won the Editorial Choice of the Wallpaper* International Edition Design Awards 2022 are...

A stool made by Diego Faivre in 643 minutes

With colorful curves and incredible details, these five unique designs seem to cross the Milky Way galaxy. In the green placement designed by Barbara Žilinskaite, a Lithuanian designer who has lived in Belgium, the crossed fingers form the cabinet door, while on the Traditional Galician Chestnut Oven designed by Laia Arqueros, we can see Dalí-style eyes. French designer Diego Faivre and American artist Chris Wolston use blue and lilac purple to create curvy, contrasting pieces, one smooth (made of special air-dried clay) and one with clear texture (handmade with Colombian wicker). Liam Lee's work, in blocky silhouettes made mainly of merino wool and cedar, was inspired not by extraterrestrial life but by microbes and seed pods.

The Copenhagen Contemporary Art Centre is located in the Danish capital, formerly a welding factory, and the local studio Tableau is responsible for designing the new café in the center. Artist Ari Prasetya approached 25 other artists, architects and designers to create unique stools, chairs and benches made of wood from flooring firm Dinesen.

The design was designed by both rookies and celebrities, whose work ranged from geometric rigor to bizarre styling, notably Paul Cournet's LC2 Douglas chair, a tribute to modernist icons such as Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand. Connie-Connie's delightful contemporary design sketch will also be available for sale. At the same time, the café also perfectly complements the menu of Alchemy, the two-Michelin-starred restaurant of Chef Rasmus Munk next door.

Designer Hussein Chalayan designed a cutlery set exclusively for Karaxa. Crafted from lustrous, ground pearls, these pieces have a nested design that is sculptural.

Fashion designer Hussein Chalayan has designed a new set of tableware for Turkish home furnishing brand Karaca, incorporating a sculptural minimalist style into it. Crafted from ground pearls, some of the plates and cups feel nested together, adding a touch of playfulness to the dining ritual. "I wanted to create a tableware set that would appeal to users and encourage them to use flexibly," Chalayan says. The pieces were meticulously prepared for almost four years, with the designer putting functionality first, and some of these thoughtful details ensure ease of use of the tableware. For example, there is a small gap between the inner and outer layers of the sessile water cup to prevent heat from dissipating and people will feel comfortable when holding the cup. The set of cutlery shimmers with a lustrous, full-bodied pearlescent texture and is available in three colours, however, Chalayan says, "I would also like more." Visually they have endless possibilities, and that's what excites me – because once you put the food on it, you create a unique set of fresh images. ”

BEST CAUTIONARY TALE

Best Cautionary Design

The 20 most interesting awards at the Wallpaper* International Edition Design Awards 2022

Marine litter gathered, and five giant "sea monsters" were born. Buttpuss is a 14m wide octopus made from felt cigarette butts, while Suckerfish features 120 clusters of knitted straws, both from Hefe's Plastocene collection. The group debuted at the National Gallery of Victoria's Triennial in December 2020.

Probably not feeling that the marine plastic litter from unbridled consumerist culture wasn't scary enough, South African designer Polky Hefer, commissioned by the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, joined forces with the South Guild Gallery in Cape Town to create the installation of five giant sea monsters. While Hefer's previous designs— such as exotic chairlifts and private homes — have often used bird's nests, the mutant sea monsters created this time have focused on a posthuman world, where plastic waste has become ubiquitous and even integrated into the DNA of some animals. Although these creatures are fascinating at first glance, a closer look reveals that the giant octopus is made from thousands of cigarette butts; The cute multi-colored fish is made from discarded fishing nets; The pufferfish's spikes are clusters of knitted straws. We can only hope that this terrible picture of the future never becomes a reality.

Designed by Kengo Kuma Architects Urban Design, IWA Sake Brewery in Japan. The newly built IWA Sake Brewery sits on the slopes of the Flying Mountains of Japan, surrounded by 10hm2 rice paddies, and its uniquely shaped roof is made of aluminum-plated zinc steel sheets and coated with a layer of fluoropolymer, so it has high heat and weather resistance.

Richard Geoffroy, former chief winemaker of Dom Pérignon, is the founder of IWA, the brand new sake brand. His team includes sake brewer Ryuichiro Masuda, designer Marc Newson, who created the brand's unique bottles and glassware, and architect Kengo Kuma, who won the award for best rooftop space. In this project, Kengo Kuma is not only an architect. "He led me to learn more about Japan," Geoffroy explains, "and he showed me the essence of Japanese culture, aesthetics, and philosophy." Kengo Kuma also helped Geoffroy find a sake master. The location of the winery is one of the most important factors. As one of the snowiest regions in the world, it has an extremely pure water source. "Richard and I are very excited to find a place like this." Kengo Kuma said.

"I believe it shouldn't just be a factory — it shouldn't just be a concrete box with production functions." "We look back at the old-fashioned brewing methods, when sake was usually brewed at home," Kuma said. So we wanted it to look more like a home than a factory. "Eventually, he referred to the Edo-era residences in the Toyama area, which had very unique roof profiles." It can accommodate and hide many features. "This area was once famous for producing silk, and many old houses would have a large stove in the center that would not only heat the house, but also provide heat to the workshop to dry the silk." This huge roof is a symbol of the way of life and production at that time. "In this family-owned factory built by Kengo Kuma, workers, supervisors, salesmen, receptionists, and guests can all appear under the same roof and gather around the furnace." Everyone can meet, chat, and eat here – that's the heart of the whole house. I want to bring this concept of a central area to contemporary architecture. Kengo Kuma explained.

This was the first sake brewery designed by Kengo Kuma. "It's a very special task for Japanese architects." He explains, "Sake brewing and architectural design require attention to detail and perfection. Emphasize the combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. I want to present that harmony. "Kengo Kuma has always been good at bringing Japanese culture to the world, and Geoffroy has brought his understanding of French culture to Japan, which is undoubtedly a perfect fusion." iwa-sake.jp; kkaa.co.jp

Top-down: Transparent Light speakers

SyngCell Alpha speaker

CassinaRadio in Cristallo radio (designed by Franco Albin)

A design from 1938 that was revived in the present sparked a fascination with the design that revealed how products worked inside. The Radioin Cristallo radio, designed by architect Franco Albini from Italy, sandwiched the internal structure of a traditional radio between two glass rectangles, was thought to be a counterattack against the ornate furniture-style radios of the 1930s. Today, in partnership with the Franco Albini Foundation, Italian home furnishing brand Cassina has adopted its perfect proportions and replaced it with modern components, including a 7-inch display, Bluetooth pairing and a DAB radio.

Cell Alpha Speaker, the first product from California-based Syng, was co-founded by former Apple designer Christopher Stringer and brand marketer Damon Way. Cell Alpha speakers use 3D printed cores and ultra-high-quality parts, while utilizing Syn's Triphonic sound system to fill the entire space with surround audio. The speaker, designed by swedish brand Transformer, shows a more modern and functional remake of The Alpini design. Now, the brand has embarked on a move into portable products with the introduction of a new Light speaker. It looks like a lantern, combines flashing LEDs with good projected audio, and is an original technology that has been built on in the past.

Moonsetter floor lamps designed by Anne Boysen for Louis Poulsen.

It's a floor lamp about "fun and exploration", inspired by the creator's fascination with light and space. In particular, the Danish architect and designer was inspired by the moon: "One night I suddenly saw it at my desk. A beam of moonlight squeezed in through the gap in the curtain, so I placed different types of surfaces in front of it and indulged in exploring the diffuse reflection of light produced by white objects," danish designer Anne Boysen explained, "so I asked myself, how can I simplify this complex process and make it more intuitive?" Then she recreated the effect of moonlight with LEDs and mirrors. The central disc of the floor lamp is white on one side and reflective on the other, and it can rotate 360° around its own axis, allowing the user to adjust the light in the room. "I think it's best to learn and experience life through our various senses," Says Boysen, "using discs to shape light while perceiving the kind of emotions you create." ”louispoulsen.com

Recycling and recycling have become an integral part of our actions to protect the planet. One person's waste may somehow gain value from another, and many designers are rising to the challenge of refurbishing useless household chores to create something completely new. Our favorite examples include the work of Better Weather, who uses discarded melamine fragments to echo the brushstrokes of Van Gogh's paintings. In addition, Philippe Malouin made steel dining chairs made from scrap from scrap dumps, shoe racks made of steel plates and recycled rubber by Lucas Faber, and Minimalist flat chairs made of 100% recycled plastic sheets made from discarded electronics by Tom Robinson. In addition, the chair designed by Lauren Goodman, a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, was also included in the 2022 Graduate Design Guide.

In 1973, 265 table lamps, designed by Paolo Rizzatto, were first produced in black and white by Flos. Now, a new color version is available to cheer for the Italian architect's original color-coded drawings – blue lamp arms, red shades and yellow counterweights. Another bold Italian reprint is Aldo Rossi's Paragi armchair, a design from the 1980s with large black metal armrests and bright red seats designed by Rossi for his ideal office. Finally, there's the curved desk designed by Charlotte Perriand, a design the architect made for his paris studio and relaunched by Cassina with a brand new wire compartment.

12 BEST ROCKET LAUNCH

The 20 most interesting awards at the Wallpaper* International Edition Design Awards 2022

Above: Rockets adorned with budweiser, Hello Kitty and Nike branding, the Miami Storm rocket has been launched at the Flamenco Park ballpark.

Below: Tom Sachs in his Manhattan studio.

Tom Sachs, an astronian conceptualist in the field of contemporary art and a number one fan of NASA, designed and assembled his own space program. His studio in New York, which is both a rocket workshop and a space flight command center, sews spacesuits and perfectly builds perfect landing capsule replicas out of steel, plywood and foam to celebrate the design and concoct "essential materials" out of thin air to take humans to the moon or more distant destinations. (He could certainly do that, and Sachs was already off the beaten track.) In 2012, he sent astronauts to Mars. In 2016, he explored Jupiter's snow-covered moon Europa. Rocket Factory is its latest exploration of rocket mythology, embracing NFTs (non-homogeneous tokens) and moving toward the next digital dimension of the art world. Sachs calls the project a "cross-dimensional manufacturing plant" that specializes in the production of branded NFT rocket parts.

The rocket factory has built enough virtual inventory of nose cone, fuselage and tail components to produce 1,000 different rockets. Each component has 30 different color combinations and branding, with varying degrees of scarcity (87 sets are Chanel, 27 sets are McDonald's, and 3 sets are HelloKitty). 100 out of 3,000 components come with stickers of varying rarity. This means that there are more than 113,000 combinations, and collectors can assemble either a multi-brand Frankenstein monster rocket or a single brand of perfect rocket. As soon as the collector chooses to launch, Sachs and his team will quickly assemble the physical replica of the digital rocket and prepare it for launch. If the component can be safely recycled after launch, the artist will put it in a custom display box and send it to the collector along with the launch video. From Governor's Island in New York to Flamenco Park Baseball Stadium in Miami, they've completed seven launches so far. Collectors with complete rocket NFTs or components can apply to become members of the Rocket Alliance while receiving exclusive Rocket Factory uniforms. Currently, Sachs is considering setting up Rocket Factory Digital Headquarters in a known or unknown corner of the metaverse to provide special access permissions for Rocket Alliance members.

Back in 1999, Apple's iMac G3 revolutionized the personal computer industry with its cutting-edge technology. However, all we really remember is its cute curved shape and rainbow-like joyful color scheme. Now, after years of using metallic shades, the Cupertino, Calif.-based tech giant has finally added some bright colors to its new ultra-thin iMac, with green, yellow, orange, pink, and purple options in addition to the blue in the picture. Each iMac will feature a softer hue on the front, allowing users to focus on their content, while the back will feature these eye-catching, high-saturation colors; The matching braided power cord will also be colored in the same color. Two other equally outstanding entries were Germans Ermis's Glass Desk – an ethereal and elegant design that continues the Amsterdam-based designer's exploration of gradient stained glass; and Ilse Crawford's Version of North Sea Blue based on Hans J Wegner's classic CH26 armchair, a special edition inspired by the work of Nordic Abstract Expressionist artist Per Kirkeby.

14 BEST FIREWORKS

The 20 most interesting awards at the Wallpaper* International Edition Design Awards 2022

Artist Judy Chicago and Pyro Spectaculars by Souza collaborate to present their new work, Youth Forever.

Determined self-confidence, extraordinary creative flair and swirling smoke have linked Judy Chicago's artistic career. In her early years, she infused vivid emotions into the monotonous art landscape dominated by minimalism in the 1960s, and later became famous for her work The Dinner Party (1979), which challenged and shook the traditional narrative of art history. Chicago's creative exploration of fireworks is also dramatic. Last year, to celebrate the successful opening of her first retrospective at the Diyoon Museum of Fine Arts in San Francisco, the artist presented in the sky her largest ever smoke sculpture, Forever de Young. Colorful smoke erupted from the 8.23m-high scaffolding and danced in the wind, melting into a strange colored mist. In terms of scale, concept, and choreography, this is the perfect mapping to Chicago's epic career. "No one was able to put me in the narrow category of contemporary art, and as a result, I was marginalized for decades. I was young and I wanted to be able to fit into the circle. But now that I'm older, I'm not interested in gregariousness. ”

Chaumet's Torsade de Chaumet necklace.

In the Torsade de Chaumet collection, Chaumet uses architectural elements for fine jewelry design, giving a light flow to hard precious metals. The heart of the collection is a superbly crafted necklace with undulating spiral structures – the French word for "torsades" – inspired by the friezes that surround Vendôme's columns, while also paying homage to Chaumet's first boutique opened in 1812 next to place Vendôme in Paris. This intricate necklace with asymmetrical tassels borrows from a necklace designed by the brand for the Maharaja of Indore a century ago. Unlike the original pear-cut diamonds, the ends of this necklace feature an elegant spring structure, and along an elongated outline, the diamonds are set in the middle of each spiral. chaumet.com

Giorgio Armani has always been fascinated by East Asian culture and has paid tribute to it in several fashion collections. His fondness for Far Eastern style is evident in the new bar cabinet released by Armani Casa. The counters are clad in paper that mimics the texture of Japanese tatami mats and feature gold acrylic backlit panels with a marble pattern and mother-of-pearl luster. Echoing the smooth curves and graphic lines of the Art Deco period, the wine cabinet features a slender cylindrical side (the columns also make up the legs), a moving door on the front, and a spacious bar counter for cocktail preparation. We make a few glasses of wine, pour it into armani Casa's elegant glassware, and enjoy it slowly. Of course, our selection of base wines is highly invigorating, either with vodka martinis, sea breeze and ice whiskies from the legendary Scottish distilleries Moher and Dalmer, or vodka with vodka luxury brand X Muse, or with Hennessy's smooth and full-bodied cognac, or with Mexican brand Volcán de mi Tierra's refreshing and evocative tequila.

British designer Tom Dixon designed the Liquid collection exclusively for VitrA.

When Tom Dixon first designed the bathroom for Turkish brand VitrA, he drew on the aesthetics of the 19th century. "I love the sense of permanence created by the big, thick taps and pipes of the Victorian era." He said. The resulting Liquid collection injects a whole new level of functionality into the British designer's novel, bold design style, blending soft-lined geometric figures with shiny silhouettes that pay homage to the works of Jeff Koons, Claes Oldenburg and Barbara Hepworth. The collection includes bathroom essentials such as sinks, shower heads, faucets, toilets, mirrors and hooks, as well as furniture such as stools and cabinets, as well as a range of textured tiles that both continue VitrA's tradition of creative collaboration and extend the brand's philosophy beyond bathroom products. Dixon describes the Liquid collection as "expressive minimalism," with even the most mundane household items (such as toilet paper racks and urinals) with a strong design personality and aesthetic humor. "I wanted the series to look like sketches of pots or taps drawn by children, showing clear logic and simplicity in terms of appearance and use." tomdixon.net; vitra.co.uk

Wonmin Park explores the relationship between natural and artificial beauty through a series of tables made of volcanic stone pedestals whose surfaces are polished like mirrors and effortlessly emerge from under precisely cut steel tabletops. As for the free-form mirrors made by Ben Blanc and Aja Blanc, their marble-like surfaces are actually achieved by casting layers of silver on a large glass plane, and the final markings create an unexpected effect of embracing nature.
