Project.- Tekiò. Design.- Anthony Dickens. Company.- Santa & Cole
Description: Tekiò, a name derived from the Japanese word "adaptation", transforms an ancient Japanese craft into a contemporary LED lighting system in which, based on washi paper modules, vertical suspension lamps, horizontal lines, circles and ovals Anthony Dickens was inspired by Chochin, the traditional Japanese paper lantern. Santa & Cole edits Tekiò thanks to the work done with the best craftsmen of Japan, combining traditional processes, high quality materials and new technologies, while taking advantage of the local cultural heritage and the tradition of working with paper. Paper is a delicate, flexible and malleable material, the folds make it more resistant and modify its opacity. Paper filters light, clarifies it. Tekiò is a decorative light that creates slow surroundings with a light that sets the mood and illuminates in a low voice.
Jury verdict: For having created a lighting system that uses a traditional material such as paper and applies craftsmanship techniques in a timeless product.

The plasticity of its design allows aggregations in hexagonal tiling. Manufactured in vibro-pressure bilayer concrete in gray or greenish gray of 45 mm thickness. Alternatively in HPC (High Performance Concrete) with thicknesses of 27 mm and 17 mm.
Jury verdict: For a Mediterranean and organic design that is identified as a neomodernism in Barcelona and shows the relevance of the use of decorative flooring in urban furniture.

Project.- Palco Low Voltage. Design.- Artec3 Studio. Company.- iGuzzini illuminazione
Description: Collection of projectors and profilers for interior with LED technology, installed in minirail with low voltage power. The system allows the use of different dimensions of
projectors and a wide range of powers and optics, among which stand out the optics for contour projectors, which allow to profile exact cones of light with a high luminous density and efficiency. The use of CoB LEDs, combined with a collimator element and a telecentric reflector with a lens base, emits a precise beam of light without chromatic aberration. Available in diameters of 51, 35 and 19 mm, Palco Low Voltage is ideal in environments of museums and commercial spaces.
Jury verdict: For being a very simple way to cut out the light and expand the possibilities of how to illuminate an area in a space. Take advantage of the paradigm shift of the LED in a very easy to apply gesture.
