Celebrating craftsmanship, furniture, and built design

Focused on craftsmanship, detail, and execution across independent makers and studios worldwide.

Award Categories

Decorative or functional objects, small furniture, and design pieces.

Furniture or objects incorporating epoxy, resin, or mixed materials.
