We are proud to share that our project “Quintessence” has been recognized as a Winner in the “Public Park & Public Area Furniture” category at the prestigious SIT Furniture Design Award!
This remarkable achievement was led by outstanding students Filippo Sartori and Simone Codutti from the Istituto superiore per le industrie artistiche di Roma, that spent a semester at Faculty of Design within the Erasmus+ program, under the guidance and mentorship of our dedicated team of professors.
Their innovative design features a collection of drinking fountains and a public restroom facility for the Experience Trail on Rožnik Hill in Ljubljana—an area known for its breathtaking natural beauty. Drawing inspiration from Slovenia’s iconic water features and natural landscapes, they crafted these public elements using Kras stone, a material that beautifully reflects the unique spirit of our country.
