Casa Decor Awards: the winners

The latest edition of Casa Decor concluded by celebrating its winning projects through the traditional Casa Decor Awards. Among the honorees was Ramón Esteve, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award

Casa Decor is a place where design takes shape in extraordinary expressions. Freedom, experimentation, research, and trends coexist through the 50 interior installations created by established studios and emerging interior designers in collaboration with more than 200 companies from the sector. A format that has made this event unique, confirming its significance on the international stage for 61 editions. This year, Casa Decor transformed the city of Madrid, activating buildings throughout the historic Barrio de Las Letras – a district steeped in history and literature – according to the curatorial vision of Alicia García Cabrera. The 2026 edition has just come to a close and, as tradition dictates, the Casa Decor Awards recognized the best project, the best original professional design, and the best integrated product.

Winning the award for Best Project was Soft Force by Kaldewei, designed by ILV* Isabel López Vilalta: a space conceived as a dialogue between contrasts – industrial and feminine, past and contemporary – exploring the coexistence of tradition and innovation through materials.

Espacio Cosentino by Summumstudio

Meanwhile, Cosentino’s layered mineral surface Éclos received the award for Best Integrated Product Design. Presented through the Manantial installation designed by Summumstudio, the project highlighted the material’s innovative character: an industrially developed surface with the appearance and texture of a natural material, featuring a three-dimensional effect, a high percentage of recycled content, and outstanding thermal resistance.

Introspectio Suite by Estudio Querencia

The jury also awarded Best Original Professional Design to the washbasin module designed by Estudio Querencia for the Suite Instrospectio space by Nais. Crafted from sheet metal and supported by ceramic cladding on both the base and basin, the design creates a central module enclosed by a curved wall, from which the mirror is suspended by a metal support. During this 61st edition, the Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Ramón Esteve, recognizing “his long and distinguished career, and his profound influence in the fields of architecture, interior design, and design.”

In the product category, special recognition went to the backlit panel designed by Paccieri Studio for the AITEX space, and to Technogym Reform in the space designed by Héctor Ruiz Velázquez. Additional mentions included the modular 45° bookshelf designed by Personal K for the Neolith installation, and the bonfire totem created by students from the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs in Interior Design at UDIT.
