On 28 April, the grandeur of Berlin\u2019s Friedrichstadt-Palast set the stage for the iF DESIGN AWARD NIGHT 2025, the most anticipated celebration in the international design calendar. Among the evening\u2019s brightest moments, Valcucine proudly accepted the iF DESIGN AWARD 2025 Gold in the kitchen systems category, a distinction awarded to only a handful of projects worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The prestigious If Design Gold Award was granted to New Logica<\/strong>, designed by Gabriele Centazzo<\/strong>, in recognition of its groundbreaking approach to kitchen ergonomics. With its elegant system of tilting upper doors and downward-sliding panels, New Logica transforms everyday kitchen use into a seamless, intuitive experience\u2014redefining the boundaries between functionality and design.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The jury praised its innovative ability to conceal and reveal, offering both aesthetic purity and practical organization within open-plan spaces. The recent restyling\u2014featuring walnut accessories and a new counterweight cover\u2014further enhances integration and customization, underlining Valcucine\u2019s relentless pursuit of perfection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe New Logica kitchen system by Valcucine is an innovative solution for open-plan kitchen and living areas. Its elegant mechanisms allow the space to be discreetly concealed when not in use. The execution is truly exceptional\u2014premium materials, intuitive functionality, and inspiring design. <\/em>\u201d – Jury statement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Receiving the Gold Award on the world\u2019s largest theatre stage was more than an honor\u2014it was a celebration of our values: timeless design, human well-being, and sustainable innovation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith New Logica, I wanted to give form to an idea of freedom\u2014freedom to move, to choose, to express oneself. It\u2019s not just about aesthetics; it\u2019s about creating a kitchen that respects human gestures and adapts to the rhythm of life. A concept further enhanced by the presence of a \u2018cloud of light\u2019 that replaces the back panel and makes the experience even more evocative.\u201d –<\/em>says Gabriele Centazzo<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The evening also paid tribute to one of architecture\u2019s most influential figures: Lord Norman Foster<\/strong> was presented with the iF Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing his extraordinary contribution to the built environment and his enduring impact on global architecture and design.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In addition to the Gold Award, Valcucine received further recognition in the \u201cInterior Architecture\u201d discipline, \u201cTrade Fairs\/Exhibitions\u201d category, for the Architectural Scenarios<\/strong> project, presented at our Milan flagship store during Milano Design Week 2024. The project redefines the traditional concept of a showroom, transforming it into an immersive and dynamic space where kitchen and architecture blend seamlessly. In Architectural Scenarios, the environments hosting the kitchens designed by Gabriele Centazzo were reinterpreted by three renowned international architecture and interior design studios\u2014ARRCC, i29, and Neri&Hu\u2014each placing Valcucine\u2019s models within unique architectural settings. The result is a powerful demonstration of Valcucine\u2019s versatility and its ability to adapt to different styles, cultures, and design sensibilities.<\/p>\n

Held the day after the iF DESIGN AWARD NIGHT, the iF Design Trend Conference 2025 brought together some of the most visionary minds in the industry at the stunning AXICA venue in Berlin. Under the theme \u201cThe New Complexity of Simplicity in Design,\u201d the sold-out event explored the intersections of technology, creativity, and leadership. From Shane Griffin<\/strong>\u2019s artistic 3D narratives to Martha Tsigkari<\/strong>\u2019s insights on disruptive technologies in architecture, and Tey Bannerman<\/strong>\u2019s vision of the evolving design leader, the conference offered a compelling snapshot of the future of design\u2014where emotion, innovation, and ethics converge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
