CAPRIOLO MIRROR by Advay Gupta (India)
Winner of First Prize in 2023, “Capriolo Mirror” combines sculptural simplicity with artisan craftsmanship.
Inspired by zoomorphic forms, the walnut frame recalls the silhouette of a deer and rests on a rotating marble base that encourages interaction.
The mirror integrates practical elements such as a tray and accessory hanger, transforming a functional object into a refined domestic presence.
BARCA LETTO by Advay Gupta (India)
Awarded Second Prize in 2024, “Barca” draws inspiration from contemporary yacht design to reinterpret the sleeping environment.
Soft curves, structural simplicity, and refined materials create a sense of comfort and lightness, translating nautical references into a sophisticated furniture language.
