Sofia's project, "Trateggio", is a delicate cylindrical piece made of porcelain using innovative 3D printing technology and won in the "Illuminated Home Décor" category.
Elsa's design, "Ma-ka", a lamp made of mycelium, was the winner of the "Designer and Custom Lighting" category in 2022 and has been able to collect her award in this new edition.
