Jacobo López del Hierro Llopis, a fourth-year student on the Bachelor's Degree in Interior Design at IED Madrid, has won third prize in the V edition of ANTALIA Decora awards, organised by Antalia, a leading company in the design and manufacture of kitchen furniture.
The student has received the third prize (worth €1,500) from among the nine finalist projects out of more than 150 projects submitted to the competition. Projects from practically all national interior design schools. The jury awarded the prizes to the proposals that stood out most for their excellence thanks to their unique, practical and innovative vision of kitchens.
Jacobo López del Hierro has won third place thanks to his project Matriz. In addition to the three prizes, four special mentions were awarded during the ceremony; of these, the mention for Functionality and Design also went to the Matriz project.
In addition to this award, student Lilia Cherradi (also in her fourth year of Interior Design) was another finalist in the fifth edition of these awards with her project MAREANA.
This year's challenge for designers was to create a kitchen that conceptually offered new ways of understanding the space around kitchen design, integrating it into outdoor and open spaces.
The awards ceremony took place in the Nubel space at the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid. With these awards, the Toledo-based kitchen manufacturer aims to recognise the creativity, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit of design and interior design students.
The finalist and winning projects are academic projects developed within the Materiales y Acabados course in the third year of the Interior Design Degree. The lecturers who accompanied them in the course were Maria Lozano Correa and Ángel Cobo Alonso.
