“Imagine today the design that will still exist in 50 years.”

Your mission

Create a unique work, a limited or numbered edition piece, which will not only be trendy today, but will transcend fashions and eras.

This design should reflect both Cinna’s rich heritage over the past 50 years and its ability to innovate, for an object that will remain relevant and admired 50 years from now. Imagine a design that, like a precious heirloom, will be passed down from generation to generation, embodying the Cinna spirit: a perfect blend of avant-garde aesthetics, timeless quality, and bold innovation.

Be a visionary, because what you create today will be tomorrow’s testimony.

The product

For this 18th edition, there will be only 1 category: decorative object.

A committed design approach for 18 years

For 18 years, the Cinna competition has rewarded a committed design approach, where innovation is put at the service of the planet. Designing an object that, while marking the history of design, will carry the values of tomorrow: respect for the environment, sustainability, and commitment to a greener future.

Participants are invited to explore ecological materials, whether recycled, recyclable, natural or from eco-responsible processes. Local and sustainable production will be favoured. Your creation must embody aesthetic and environmental sustainability.
