We are thrilled to share that three of our design creations — Groove, designed by Hangar Design Group, Plissé, by Chiaramonte & Marin, and Riketta, by Oriano Favaretto — have received the prestigious 2024 Good Design Awards, the world’s oldest and most renowned award for excellence in design.

Plissé – A harmony inspired by nature

The Plissé lamp, with its unique design, recalls the lightness and fluid shapes of jellyfish. The large blown glass diffuser encloses a fabric inner shade, creating an elegant play of transparencies, colours and textures. This refined element, available in a suspended version with LED source, adds a distinctive touch to any environment.

Groove – A homage to the minimalism of the 1960s

Groove, conceived by Hangar Design Group’s creative team, is inspired by the rigour of early 1960s minimalist design. The flexible structure, composed of four metal frames that slide to create variable geometries, is a perfect balance of regular shapes and refined glass and metal finishes. A versatile solution that combines functionality and style to adapt to different needs.

Riketta – The Elegance of Simplicity

Riketta is characterized by its modern and essential design. The LED light source is contained in the white glass diffuser positioned in the lower part of the metal cage. The pendant is available in two sizes. Matt white frame finish.

An award of international prestige

Founded in Chicago in 1950 by design legends such as Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames, the Good Design Award is the oldest and most recognized program for design excellence worldwide. This year, during its 74th edition, the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design received a record number of submissions from leading manufacturers and design studios across more than 55 countries. The entries represent a wide range of innovations, from the “spoon to the city,” honoring projects that combine sustainability, superior design, and unparalleled functionality.

In November/December 2023, the jury of the Good Design Awards selected over 1,100 products and graphics worthy of the award for their outstanding design quality. Groove, Plissé, and Riketta stood out among the submissions, confirming the value of our design vision and the significant contribution we bring to the contemporary design landscape.

We are honored to see our work celebrated with such a prestigious recognition. A special thanks goes to the teams of designers and artisans who made this success possible, combining creativity, innovation, and craftsmanship. Thanks to them, Groove and Plissé continue to represent the excellence of Italian design around the world. .
