From large-scale international architecture to interiors and collectible design, three new voices join the jury for the 11th edition of the Archiproducts Design Awards
Miminat Shodeinde, studioutte and Kin Li, Associate Partner at MAD, have joined the jury of the Archiproducts Design Awards 2026. Their practices span architecture, interiors, art and collectible design, bringing different perspectives on how form, material and space shape contemporary design.
The three join an international panel tasked with selecting the products that stand out for their design quality, innovation and approach to research.
Miminat Shodeinde joins the ADA 2026 Jury
British-Nigerian artist and designer Miminat Shodeinde was born and raised in London. Her work sits between art, interior architecture and design, combining an architectural approach with a strong artistic sensibility.
As the founder of Miminat Designs, Shodeinde works across residential, commercial, hospitality, retail and yacht projects worldwide. Her interiors bring together old and new, contrasting elements and carefully considered materials, creating immersive spaces in which architecture and art are closely intertwined.
Alongside interiors, the studio develops sculptural furniture, lighting and objects that explore the boundary between art and design. Form and function are treated as complementary rather than separate, with each piece shaped by its material character and craftsmanship.
The studio’s collections are handcrafted and hand-finished by British and European artisans, combining contemporary techniques with traditional making processes. The result is a body of work in which furniture and objects become an integral part of the spatial experience.
studioutte joins the ADA 2026 Jury
Founded in Milan in 2020 by Guglielmo Giagnotti and Patrizio Gola, studioutte is a multidisciplinary practice working across interior architecture, decoration and furniture design.
The studio’s work draws on Italian vernacular architecture and regional traditions, translating these references into contemporary interiors and objects. Rather than pursuing minimalism through reduction alone, studioutte focuses on essential forms, tactile materials and a more instinctive relationship with space.
Its interiors have a distinctive warmth and physical presence, balancing expressive elements with a sense of simplicity. Architecture, furniture and objects are conceived as part of the same language rather than as separate layers of a project.
Even the studio’s name reflects this interest in the origins of dwelling. Studiouttederives from the German hütte, meaning hut, cabin or shelter — a reference to the archetypal forms of inhabiting that inform the practice’s work.
Kin Li, Associate Partner at MAD, joins the ADA 2026 Jury
Kin Li is Associate Partner at MAD, the international architecture practice founded by Ma Yansong. He joined the studio in 2011 after earning a Master’s degree in Architecture from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
At MAD, Li combines architectural design with a strong understanding of art and three-dimensional modelling. His work has played a key role in translating the studio’s distinctive architectural language into complex digital models, helping develop projects across different scales and contexts.
His portfolio at MAD includes Shenzhen Bay Culture Park, Quzhou Sports Park, Paris UNIC, 71 Via Boncompagni in Rome, Hainan Science and Technology Museum, Pingtan Art Museum, Chaoyang Park Plaza and the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.
His role within MAD has brought him into contact with projects ranging from cultural and civic buildings to large-scale urban developments, providing a perspective shaped by the intersection of architecture, technology and formal experimentation.
