AN’s 2025 Best of Products Awards open today
Now in its 11th year, The Architect’s Newspaper’s Best of Products Awards crown the top products for the built environment, from interior furniture, fixtures, and surfaces to facades and other exterior materials. The program, which is now accepting submissions for 2025, elevates products that champion not only a high level of design but also sustainability, innovation, and a consideration for ease of use. To be part of this program is to be honored for an inventive level of design and craft know-how.
