The Bronze A' Design Award Explained

The Bronze A' Design Award is given to outstanding designs that showcase a high degree of creativity and practicality. It recognizes the dedication and skill of designers who produce work that stands out for its thoughtful development and innovative use of materials and technology. These designs are acknowledged for their professional execution and potential to influence industry standards positively. Winning this award highlights the designer's ability to blend form and function effectively, offering solutions that enhance people's lives and wellbeing.

Regarding Re Sauna

Re is a sauna interior designed as a quiet retreat. The design is based on the Japanese word shinkan, which means deep stillness. Sound is the main focus of the layout and of the material choices. Partition walls are extended to the attic, and sound proofing material is placed inside the walls to reduce noise. All finishes are uneven, which softens reflected sound. The lighting follows the direction, intensity and color temperature of natural sunlight. The result is a calm space that recalls the silence of a growing forest.
