Building Material Awards
ACO Voronoi design grating wins the Reddot award 2020 in Germany
The ACO Voronoi design grating was designed by the French artist Franck Magné and inspired by a natural pattern or phenomenom - the 'voronoi'. In nature, the pattern can be found on the fur of a giraffe, on the wings of dragonflies or when droughts crack the surface of earth. Geometric shapes, which seem to be randomly arranged at first glance, create a naturally unique design. Due to it's organic soul, the Voronoi grating matches perfectly with mineral or botanical surroundings. With his inspiration by nature, Franck Magné created an experience, not only an object. Also the jury of the Reddot award 2020 saw the best in this ACO product.
