Marcel Besau and Eva Marguerre

Studio Besau-Marguerre

»Awards such as the »Best of Best« reflect a professional distinction, as they are awarded by experts. In combination with the enthusiasm and satisfaction of the customers and users of our projects, this inspires enormously the passion and motivation for our profession.«

Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez

Maria Berntsen

Holmegaard

»I am very honored to receive the award ICONIC AWARDS: Innovative Interior for Scala by Holmegaard. It is always an amazing process to have a living material such as glass to retain its quality in an industrial production.
Therefore, it is very special to receive this award for the Scala collection, where function and shape are optimized in one glass design.«
