During the award ceremony, Paolo Mussini, founder of Cotto d’Este, stated: “It’s with great pride that we accept this prestigious award, which recognises the excellence of our ceramics and our ability to contribute to high-calibre international projects. For over 30 years, Cotto d’Este has been dedicated to producing high-end products, made entirely in Italy, which perfectly meet the needs of designers, transforming their creativity into remarkable and beautiful structures. The collaboration with Scandurra Studio has been a rewarding and enriching experience which has allowed us to create a new and distinctive product, fruit of their vision and our ceramic craftsmanship.”
Alessandro Scandurra, architect and founder of Scandurra Studio, said: “The constant exploration of the expressive potential of both materials and construction techniques has always been at the heart of our approach to any project. In Spiga 26, thanks to the close collaboration between designer and manufacturer, traditional materials have been innovatively reinterpreted in an effort to strike a delicate balance between classical influences, allusions to the artisan quality of Milan’s Quadrilatero della Moda, and the assertion of a contemporary identity.”
