Whether you’re on the products hunt for your next project or perusing the state of the industry, pay attention to the forces driving these designs and the momentum they’ve created.Ĭongratulations to all the manufacturers lauded in this issue. Flip through the following pages and you’ll find a treasure trove of new color palettes, textures, stains, and sizes. This desire for flexibility has also driven a wide expansion of product options and increased customization capabilities. Compared to 2021, the tone of this year’s submissions was confident and forward-thinking, far less focused on urgent responses and more so on moving forward to a new, improved, and more flexible normal. Overall, it seems that the grip of the pandemic over the design industry has eased considerably. Although a big question mark has loomed over the future of the office since the onset of the pandemic, the quantity and ingenuity of commercial and contract furnishings, surfaces, lighting, and technologies seen during this jurying process made it clear that architectural products manufacturers are making renewed efforts to revive the workplace. We were also excited by the resurgence of workplace-related products. In the outdoor products space in particular, which saw a sharp increase in demand during the pandemic, we noticed a push to deliver unique designs that performed at high levels of sustainability and durability.
As a result of this initiative, we’ve seen the advent of new, innovative materials as well as several reissues of classic designs that have been improved to meet today’s green standards. A connecting theme that unites these products is sustainability-in particular, manufacturers have re-engineered their product lifecycles to ensure that their production lines consider waste, scarcity, and emissions. From structural systems to design software to acoustic solutions to decorative lighting, AN’s recognition represents the best in show across the broad spectrum of products that, when used well, work in harmony to construct our built environment. Our esteemed jury arrived at the following lineup through careful conversations informed by their vast and varied experience in architecture and design practice, education, and publishing. With our strongest pool of applicants to date, finalizing these winners, honorable mentions, and editors’ picks was no easy task. It is with great excitement that we announce the winners of The Architect’s Newspaper’s 8th Annual Best of Products Awards.
