Archello and Archiproducts Design Awards: wins for the Arialuce collection by Marca Corona


Marca Corona is amongst the winners for the second consecutive year thanks to the new Arialuce collection of extruded terracotta lattice tiles.
 

None

The concluding months of 2024 have been full of exceptional new developments for our company.

In November and December, for example, we received the Archello and Archiproducts Design Awards for our Arialuce 3D tiles.

Launched at Cersaie 2024, Arialuce was created in partnership with Fornace S.Anselmo and is our first collection of extruded terracotta lattice tiles. 

Ideal for creating modular partition walls that furnish interiors gracefully while maintaining the harmony of the chosen design scheme, Arialuce has won favour with two international juries, receiving the coveted “Interior Wall of the Year” (Archello) and “Finishes” (Archiproducts) prizes. 

 

But what was behind this success and why was the collection chosen? Let's find out together.

 

Arialuce triumphs at the Archiproducts Design Awards

On 14 November 2024, at Superstudio in Milan, Arialuce was victorious in the “Finishes” category and was one of the stars at the Archiproducts Design Awards gala evening.

After Miniature Fornace, which won the prize in 2023, Arialuce brought home another triumph at this event, with the addition of an honourable mention which placed the collection on display in the world design Hall of Fame reserved for the winning products and present throughout the duration of the event.

Aesthetic values, symbolic and emotional content, production techniques and quality were the reasons why Arialuce triumphed over the other shortlisted competitors.

This collection embodies a new decorative and functional vision, with surfaces that blend tradition and modernity

The extruded terracotta forms, inspired by skilled craftsmanship reinterpreted in contemporary spirit, reveal without obstructing and integrate perfectly into interior designs with versatility, allowing light to pass and constructing attractive, tasteful architectural features that blend into the form and style of retail premises or spaces within the home.

The product reflects the input of innovative research, in keeping with the best Made in Italy standards.

The Archiproducts Design Awards jury described Marca Corona and Fornace S.Anselmo as two outstanding Italian producers, both with a long history that combines the art of manufacturing with industrial creativity, never losing sight of the future while cherishing the past.

The synergy of brand, design and products is another of this award’s core values, and Arialuce sublimates all these aspects, with a unique blend of corporate identity, know-how and unique functional features.

Arialuce wins the Archello Awards

The results of the Archello Awards were announced on 2 December 2024 with Arialuce victorious in the jury prize for the “Interior Wall of the Year” category and Longarine the public’s top choice for the “Floor of the Year” title.

Another award of which we are very proud, repeating the previous year’s result, with two freshly-launched collections already enrolled amongst the international design greats.
The Archello award procedure assessed more than 1,000 entries to select five finalists in each of the contest’s 19 product categories.

One of Arialuce’s outstanding features is its combined use of two simple yet exquisite materials, terracotta and porcelain stoneware.

Although their characteristics differ, these materials share a common origin in clay and are both processed using water and fire, two natural elements. 

This dialogue of tradition and modernity has generated a highly original project.

The Arialuce lattice tiles are available in three exclusive forms:

  • Curve
  • Pertuse
  • Asole

These modules offer infinite creative potential, enabling the construction of personalised lattice structures with alternating frames and openings.

With regard to patterns, colours and textures, the Naturale, Avorio and Bianco Glassa shades are available in both the matt 3D and the glossy finishes, ideal for creating attractive functional features in every kind of setting.

Whether it’s in a kitchen, a bedroom, a living-room or a bathroom, Arialuce provides the desired effect every time!

Arialuce is the first product in the new “Lesagome” range within the Marca Corona 1741 line, a series of interior design products and accessories inspired by tradition, reinterpreted with a contemporary approach.
