MIAW INNOVATION 2023 FOR THE VANCOUVER ALUMINIUM SOFA !
The winner of the Muuuz International Award "MIAW" for Innovation 2023 was announced on Thursday 7 December at the Grand Hôtel Intercontinental Opéra in Paris.
At the centre of this award ceremony stood street furniture including our Vancouver sofa, further a selection of 16 other products divided into four different categories: Interior, Furnishing/Materials/Coatings, Lighting and Outdoor. The winners were selected from the most innovative French and European manufacturers of the year.
The Muuuz International Awards
Created in 2013 by Muuuz magazine in collaboration with the journal D'A, the MIAW is an annual event dedicated to recognising original and remarkable achievements in the fields of architecture, construction and decoration.
The aim of these awards is to appreciate products and solutions that stand out for their expertise, progress and technical development, while adopting an environmental friendly approach. The pre-selection was based on spontaneous submissions from manufacturers and was complemented by the astute observation of the jury, who spent many months searching for the most innovative products and solutions on the market.
The Vancouver aluminium sofa
Whether you look at it or sit on it, the perfection of its form creates the feeling that it is a piece of furniture that has been placed in public space. As with the aluminium slats embedded in a steel structure, the refinement of the details can be felt everywhere. The curvature of the frame, which merges into the armrests, is the result of exceptional craftsmanship and goes far beyond the limits of steel processing. With the Vancouver sofa, the design of street furniture reaches a new level.
We would like sincerely thank the editors of Muuuz who, after reviewing numerous novelties and participants, have included the Vancouver aluminium sofa in the "Outdoor" category due to its clear and functional design and the use of aluminium, a sustainable and highly recyclable material.
