German Design Awards - Product of Excellence
Yet another international achievement for MESA Ceramics – we have been recognised with two German Design Awards 2025, in the Product of Excellence category, for the AKIKO and KAZE collections.
The AKIKO collection, inspired by traditional Japanese aesthetics, was developed in terracotta colour tones with patterns and textures that combine sophistication with modernity. This collection uses ID7 paste, which gives it greater robustness while maintaining an elegant and light finish.
The KAZE collection, whose name means ‘wind’ in Japanese, is characterised by patterns that evoke the softness and uniqueness of a gentle breeze. Part of the Organic line, this collection is perfectly capable of fitting into any setting anywhere in the world, combining modern design with traditional elegance.
