Koinè by Luceplan selected by jury as Building Product of the Year 2023

Archello Awards 2023 has revealed its winning products. For each of the 17 categories, one product was awarded by jury vote, and one product was awarded by public vote. As the overall Building Product of the Year award winner, the jury has selected Koinè designed by Mandalaki Studio for Luceplan.  The name Koinè draws from the Greek term for 'common' or 'shared' and is the title of a line of suspension lamps that refers to the product's versatile shape.
