The names of the winners of the 4th edition of IdeasXwood Contest by Tabu

The 4th edition of IdeasXwood, the most important contest of the wood industry, with a strong educational intent, conceived to promote the knowledge of wood and its enhancement as a noble, living and renewable material, concluded last 13 September with an exclusive award-giving ceremony in the prestigious Salone d’Onore of the Milan Triennale.

Promoted by Tabu – the company located in Cantù, leading reference in the dyeing technology of natural and multilaminar wood – and patronized by FederlegnoArredo, FSC® Italia and Adi, the competition has received in its second edition as well as 400 projects from all over the world. The participants, divided into two categories – professionals under 39 and students of the Universities of Architecture and Engineering, Design Schools and Institutes and Fine Arts Academies – have proposed new geometric, organic or combined patterns, aimed at the creation of multilaminar veneers, industrial inlays, three-dimensional surfaces and state-of-the-art boiserie placed in a project area (Residential, Yacht, Ho.re.ca, Wellness, Retail and Mobility).

The contest counts also this year on the media partnership of IQD and on the presence of the “competition in the competition” promoted by the main partner Carpanelli, historic Brianza-based furniture company and entitled A New Touch Of Elegance.
