Arthur Casas, Lia Siqueira and Jader Almeida were notable names at this year's IF Design Award . At the awards, which are like an "Oscar" for designers, these experts came out on top. In this edition of the IF Design Award, an international and independent group, made up of 98 design experts , judged almost 10 thousand entries, from 3,693 participants, from 52 countries. One of the biggest names in national architecture and an expert in sustainable design and inspiring buildings, Arthur Casas surprised in the Residential category by presenting the Ícaro Building , a beautiful monument that combines rustic nature with modern construction (and which won). In the Products category, Casas also stood out with a functional design piece: the high spout table mixer for washbasin , made for Deca . Full of style, the work is still super engaged with the current pandemic and new contact habits.

Jader Almeida , in turn, was awarded in the Products category with his elegant Etta Chair . Very focused on creating furniture that valued comfort and sophistication, the professional used sole leather as a counterpoint to noble materials such as cast metal and solid wood. - Lastly - and certainly not least - Lia Siqueira enchanted everyone and won the best in the Disciplinary Product category with her modern Horizonte Sideboard . The powerful piece stands out for its different repetitions that focus on the same block. Subtle cuts in the wood also guarantee a more fluid opening of the furniture, in a very intuitive way.
