Neolith has won the Light & Surface: Exterior category at the prestigious Surface Design Awards 2025. Recognised for its groundbreaking art installation 'A Reflection of Who We Are' at Casa Decor 2024, Neolith says it has 'once again demonstrated its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and the seamless fusion of nature with architectural surfaces'.
The Surface Design Awards are a globally recognised benchmark for excellence in material innovation. Now in its 13th edition, the awards highlight outstanding achievements in architecture and interior design, judged by professionals within the industry. Each year, they celebrate pioneering projects that redefine the use of materials in built environments. The Light & Surface: Exterior category specifically celebrates projects that push the boundaries of material usage while maintaining a strong environmental ethos.
Ross Stewart, UK senior sales manager for Neolith UK, said: “Winning this award is a fantastic recognition of Neolith’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and innovation. The Casa Decor 2024 project truly showcases the versatility and beauty of our sintered stone surfaces, demonstrating how they can transform outdoor spaces while respecting and enhancing the natural environment.”
Designed in collaboration with SUMMUMSTUDIO, Neolith’s 'A Reflection of Who We Are' transformed the historic gardens of Palacio de la Trinidad in Madrid into an immersive sanctuary. This outdoor space blended Neolith’s sintered stone surfaces with the natural environment, reinforcing the brand’s philosophy that nature is an integral part of design. Neolith’s Amazonico and Layla sintered stone models were used to recreate a forest floor and revitalise a historic pond.
Following the event’s conclusion, the installation was carefully disassembled. However, with Neolith’s fully recyclable materials, they can be repurposed in future projects, reinforcing the brand’s dedication to sustainability and responsible design.
