Three new jurors join the prestigious panel of the 10th Archiproducts Design Awards

The tenth edition of the Archiproducts Design Awards marks a significant milestone for the Award, which, for a decade, has celebrated excellence and innovation in contemporary design. Joining the international jury for this special edition of the ADAs are three leading figures on the creative scene: Giulio Cappellini, among the most influential voices in Italian design; Llisa Demetrios, Chief Curator of the Eames Institute and custodian of the legacy of her legendary grandfathers Ray and Charles Eames; and Flavien Servaes, Head of Product Design at Vincent Van Duysen Architects, among the most interesting emerging names in European design.

Three different but synergistic visions, united by an authentic approach and a strong commitment to the pursuit of quality, identity and meaning in design.

Her work as a curator reflects a strong commitment to enhancing design as a cultural and social tool capable of generating awareness and change.
