The young designer from Senorbì Matteo Congiu is the winner of the "Design Award and Competition 2023", one of the most prestigious awards that represents design excellence in the world. The award ceremony was held at the Salone del Mobile in Milan, where the young designer, former student of the IED of Cagliari, presented his new collection of high-end furnishing products.
He obtained the coveted recognition thanks to the "Bisu" project, through which he created the first cork bed in the world able to put together functionality, ethics of well-being, sustainability and design.
«This recognition is a great honor for me and I have to thank the jury very much for choosing my work among many other proposals of the highest level», said Congiu, after receiving the award from Makpal Bayetova, head of the A'Design Competition Award and Competition established to recognize and promote the design of digital or conceptual physical objects worldwide, combining functionality and aesthetics.
«This award represents a very important milestone for me and I wouldn't have gotten this far without the support of my family, my partner and all those who have always encouraged me to follow my passion for design. I also want to dedicate this award to my wonderful land, a source of inspiration for the creation of the project for which I received the award: I am happy to have been able to represent Sardinia in this prestigious international context", concluded Congiu.
