MM Award International creative award : #cimento is the brand partner that will produce

the Trophies for the winners

“We wanted the Trophy to be made by a company that, like us, shares the passion and love for #design, materials, research and Made in Italy - says Manuel Barbieri, co-founder of #mmcompany and designer of the Trophy -. Our project has been embraced by #cimento. In the search for a partner, we also focused on the values the jurors are supposed to look for in the contestants’ projects: Creativity, Research and Innovation, Sustainability, Ethics and Attention to detail. We wanted the company called to create the Trophy was also linked to these values.”

CIMENTO is a company that realizes sculptural furniture in an exclusive material that takes its name from the company itself, the “cimento”: an exclusive, registered trademark cement compound that uses over 90% mineral aggregates mixed with a cement binder. The materiality, textures and colours of #cimento take on three-dimensional and sculptural forms that are translated into pure lines with a monolithic character.

“When we designed the Trophy, we had a clear idea of what the final result should be: an object of strong impact but, at the same time, able to interpret an essential and minimalist aesthetic line, in accordance with our dna - continues Manuel Barbieri -. The material is also fundamental to us: it will change for each edition of the MM Award. In the 2021 edition, thanks to the #partnership with #cimento, the material chosen is cement in 3 different colors, one for each thematic category: fashion, product & #interiordesign.”
