Archiproducts Design Awards 2024

Alias is delighted to announce that the Nastro table conceived by Norwegian designer Daniel Rybakken and unveiled at the latest edition of the Salone del Mobile.Milano, has been honoured at the Archiproducts Design Awards 2024. The 2024 winners were selected by an international jury of leading figures in the architecture and design worlds. The Nastro table stood out for its concept and design in the furniture category. First launched in 2016, the annual awards sponsored by Archiproducts bring together key players in the design world to reflect on today's creative scene. The Archiproducts Design Awards celebrate global design excellence, rewarding experimental research and innovation, 

the ability to combine functionality and beauty, and the intelligent and creative use of materials and forms. The awards presented in different categories testify to the synergy between designers and brands, as well as to their creativity and innovation. With the Nastro collection, Daniel Rybakken reconsiders the concept of a height-adjustable table, defining a unique product ideal for both work and home environments. The exclusive design is a clear departure from the usual rigid and mechanical lines that characterise this type of product, giving Nastro unprecedented versatility and elegance. The original lifting system consisting of a belt and four pulleys connected to the telescopic 

legs creates an elegant and innovative solution that allows the movement (the height of the top) to be easily and intuitively controlled, without the need for electricity. A simple and natural gesture permits the individual elevation of the legs to be synchronised, simultaneously revealing the chromatic side of each leg. The silent and incredibly durable belt is an eternal, maintenance-free element. Manual height adjustment allows for extraordinary cross-functional use, ranging from social occasions to informal work situations, whether in a standing or seated position. Innovative and functional at the same time, Nastro represents the evolution of the lift-up table concept, offering an unprecedented experience

in every context. The Archiproducts Design Awards are a significant recognition for Alias, acquiring a special value in the year of the brand's 45th anniversary. The award given to Nastro highlights the experimental approach that underpins Alias, along with its pioneering ideals and versatile DNA. With this prestigious award, we celebrate not only Nastro's success, but also Alias' ongoing commitment to redefining the boundaries of design, turning visionary ideas into concrete projects and contributing to contemporary design culture. This award is a tribute to our passion for innovation and our relentless pursuit of new expressions, which will continue to guide us into the future.
