Winner 'Best of Best' at ICONIC AWARDS 2026
DenimX Material Matters
We are honoured to announce that DenimX has been awarded Best of Best in the Innovative Material category at the ICONIC AWARDS 2026, recognising its innovative approach to transforming denim waste into a versatile material system for architecture, interiors, and product design.
What is Material Matters?
At the core of DenimX
Material Matters describes a connected system of materials and applications based on recycled denim fibres and bio-based binders. The system demonstrates how one waste stream can be developed into materials with different functions, while maintaining a recognisable recycled identity throughout.
Designing the next Life of Textiles
Circular material development
The different materials and their applications show how the same material language can move across architecture, interiors and products. The Best of Best recognition validates this approach and encourages us to keep expanding what these materials can do.
From Textile Waste to a Material System
More than just recycling
We bring together four interconnected developments: ECO-HPL, a surface material for architectural and interior applications; SAM Panel Denim Pure, a durable structural panel for table-top surfaces; the Concord Table Collection, demonstrating how these panels can be utilised in interior design; and the Concord Chair, showing off our BIO-Laminate‘s potential in three-dimensionsal product design.
