ADI-FAD Delta 2026 Finalists: Our Award-Winning Trophies

In April 2026, the ADI-FAD —Association of Industrial Design of the Promotion of Arts and Design— announced the finalists for the Delta Awards 2026, the benchmark awards for industrial design in Spain. They recognise objects from sectors as varied as mobility, lighting, interior furnishing, packaging, construction materials and accessories.

This year, our trophies were selected in the Accessories and tools category. In this article we explain what these awards are, what criteria the jury follows and what it means for us to be on this list.

What the Delta Awards are

They have been organised by the ADI-FAD since 1961, making them one of the longest-running competitions in Europe for industrial design. They are held every two years and recognise both producing companies and the professionals who design the pieces. This edition, the 43rd, also revives the original name Delta Awards —under which they were founded in 1961— after several editions under the name ADI Awards. For companies that manufacture with technical and material rigour, appearing in the Delta selection is an objective signal: the pieces have passed through a professional filter before reaching the international jury.

The 2026 edition in numbers

422 proposals were submitted. From these, the expert committee selected 203 finalists. The international jury responsible for deciding the winners among the finalists is made up of Michael Anastassiades, the studio Big-Game Design, Maria Porro and Rosario Hurtado. A novelty of this edition is the Disueño category, which incorporates pieces of a conceptual nature situated on the boundary between function and the critical expression of the object.

In the Accessories and tools category, where our pieces are included, objects compete evaluated by their technical resolution, choice of materials and rigour of the manufacturing process.

Our pieces in the selection

We are finalists in the Accessories and tools category with trophies designed by Jordi Pla Sabaté and Jordi Blasi Mezquit. The selection places our pieces alongside furniture, lighting and electronic devices, categories where formal criteria and material consistency are the central arguments.

The pieces submitted to the selection reflect the same approach with which we manufacture the entire collection: materials from recycled sources —post-consumer plastic with a stone-like appearance, FSC-certified beech wood, recycled fishing nets, steel sheets with recycled fraction— in geometric forms without ornamentation, where the geometry exposes the material rather than decorating it.

That a manufacturer of trophies for events reaches this stage says something about the place that the recognition object occupies today within the Spanish industrial landscape: it is no longer a niche outside design, but an area where formal and material rigour is as relevant as in any other category.

What the jury evaluates

The Delta Awards look for pieces that bring value to people, respect the environment and reflect good professional and industrial practices. The jury does not evaluate intentions: it evaluates what has been resolved in the object. The material chosen, the process employed and the consistency between the two.

Our pieces are manufactured with that same logic. Each trophy starts from a verified material selection, a precision manufacturing process and a form that adds nothing without a function. When the jury reviews a piece with those criteria, it finds concrete answers.

When and where the awards are presented

The Delta Awards 2026 ceremony will take place on 22 July at the Disseny Hub Barcelona. That same day the exhibition featuring all the finalist pieces, organised by category, will be inaugurated and the verdict of the international jury will be announced. The exhibition, which gathers objects manufactured over the past two years, will remain open to the public at the Disseny Hub during the following weeks.

For any profile connected to industrial design —from professional practice to training or research— it is a direct reading of which materials, forms and manufacturing processes define the state of the industrial object in Spain at this moment.

What this selection confirms

Reaching the final selection of the Delta Awards 2026 confirms that the criteria with which we manufacture our pieces carry weight outside our sector. We do not manufacture trophies to fulfil a formality on an event's agenda: we manufacture them as objects that must stand on their own, with the same technical and formal rigour as any piece of industrial design. Being in this selection is a recognition of the criteria with which we have been manufacturing for years.
