Three new jurors have joined the panel for the 11th edition of the Archiproducts Design Awards
The new edition of the Archiproducts Design Awards expands its jury with three new international members: Milan-based architect Stefano Belingardi Clusoni, Colombian designer Natalia Criado, and Matthieu Pinet, founder and director of the exhibition format MATTER and SHAPE.
Now in their eleventh edition, the ADA confirm themselves as one of the most closely watched awards in the contemporary design landscape, with a selection system entrusted to an international jury called upon to evaluate projects according to criteria of design quality, innovation, and the ability to interpret the transformations of the sector.
Applications for the 2026 Archiproducts Design Awards are open until September 14.
Matthieu Pinet in the ADA 2026 jury
Active across fashion, communication, and exhibition design, Matthieu Pinet has built his career between Paris and its cultural platforms. After training at the Institut Français de la Mode and gaining early experience in fashion event organization, he co-founded the agency Icône, gradually steering his work toward the creation of hybrid formats combining communication and design.
In 2013, he launched The Shape of the Season and MATTER and SHAPE, a design-focused platform that in 2024 evolved into a physical event during Paris Fashion Week at the Jardin des Tuileries. Since 2022, he has also directed Exposed Paris, a space dedicated to experimentation in the field of lingerie.
Natalia Criado in the ADA 2026 jury
Born in Colombia and trained at the IED in Milan, Natalia Criado develops a body of work focused on tableware and, more broadly, on a domestic dimension of design in which function, gesture, and sculptural value coexist.
Since 2011, she has led her eponymous brand, through which she collaborates with artisans in both Colombia and Italy, building a process that connects contemporary design with craft knowledge. Her objects are defined by a balance between essential geometric forms and a strong material sensitivity, using brass, glass, ceramic, and natural stones interpreted through an essential and symbolic language.
Criado’s work sits in a hybrid space between design and functional object, where the table becomes a field for formal and narrative experimentation.
Stefano Belingardi Clusoni in the ADA 2026 jury
Trained at the Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio under Mario Botta, Stefano Belingardi Clusoni belongs to a generation of architects that combines theoretical research with design practice across multiple scales.
After experiences in Europe and Asia and collaborations with international studios such as Daniel Libeskind and EMBT Miralles Tagliabue, he founded Stefano Belingardi Architects in Milan in 2016. The studio works across architecture, urban design, and interiors with an approach that places context and structure at the center, avoiding predefined styles and favoring solutions developed case by case.
His projects range from residential and office buildings to urban regeneration and hospitality, alongside parallel work in product design and institutional presence in venues such as the ADI Design Museum and the Triennale Milano.
