Afrika by SLIDE won the GOOD DESIGN ® Award: the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design and Metropolitan Arts Press Ltd honoured the collection created by Marcantonio with the prestigious award that recognises excellence and innovation in the design world.

Located within the walled city of Treviso, the striking Palazzo della Luce dates back to 1500. In its over 500 years of history, the building has suffered many bombings and periods of neglect, until its careful restoration in 2021. The redevelopment work that brought it back to its former glory lasted about two years and was curated by studio EXiT for the exteriors and the structure, and by studio Squared Architects for the interiors – in collaboration with the Superintendence of Cultural and Archaeological Heritage of the Veneto region.

It’s one of the most sustainable, upholstered chairs in the world – Nuez Lounge BIO® by Andreu World, designed by Patricia Urquiola, is made from biodegradable and compostable thermo-polymer of natural origin.
