LOOP Design Awards 2026
New Winners Trophies.
The LOOP Trophy celebrates the diversity, craft, and forward-thinking spirit of contemporary design.
Conceived as a modular composition, each segment represents one of the creative fields honored by LOOP—Architecture, Interior Design, Landscape, Product Design, Photography, Video, Concept Design, Graphic Design, and Media. At the center, a solid core element symbolizes the unity and shared vision that connect all disciplines within the LOOP community.
Produced using advanced 3D-printing technology and meticulously hand-assembled, the trophy combines precision with a refined, tactile finish.
This limited edition of 100 pieces ensures that each award remains a distinctive, collectible object—an enduring symbol of excellence and recognition.
2026 Winners LOOP Trophy
The LOOP Design Awards 2026 trophy is more than a symbol — it is a modular, interactive object designed to celebrate the diversity of the eight disciplines awarded each year.
Each trophy is made of eight independent blocks, each representing one of the award categories, plus a central block that symbolizes the union of them all.
Thanks to its built-in magnetic system, the blocks can be repositioned and rearranged, allowing each winner to personalize their trophy and create a unique composition that reflects their project.
