The world of design is not only about creativity, but also about challenges that test talent, vision, and the ability to transform an idea into reality. With this spirit, the 10th Design Awards Riva1920 is born, an international competition dedicated to storage furniture.

Why participate

Taking part means engaging directly with a brand that represents Made in Italy excellence and solid wood craftsmanship. Riva1920 is looking for projects that combine aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability, opening the way to new interpretations of an essential piece of furniture.

The theme: storage furniture

The contest invites designers and architects to design storage furniture in solid wood (walnut, oak, briccola), with the option to integrate innovative materials, as long as wood remains the central element.

Proposals should:

express a strong aesthetic identity,

ensure simple feasibility,

respect sustainability criteria (natural finishes, plant-based glues, certified raw material sourcing).

A challenge that shapes the future

The most outstanding projects will have the chance to become part of the Riva1920 collection, moving from concept to actual product. A concrete opportunity for every designer and architect to see their idea come to life in homes around the world.

Deadlines and participation

Opening date: September 15, 2025

Closing date: January 15, 2026

Participation is open to individuals or teams, by registering on the official Riva1920 website.
