In just three years, the Wallpaper* Smart Space Awards have become a leading celebration of the best examples of domestic design and technology. Established to celebrate the year’s finest mix of innovation, style, sustainability and simplicity, it is the ultimate tech awards for the home.
Winners of the debut Wallpaper* Smart Space Awards, in 2021
Over the past two years, we’ve explored every conceivable category to find the greatest products from the latest design and tech for the home. From e-bikes to water bottles, hi-fidelity speakers and hi-visibility wallpaper, we’ve assembled two collections – the winners of the Wallpaper* Smart Space Awards 2021 and 2022 – that mark the cream of the crop.
Most Masterful Music Device, 2022: Syng's Cell Alpha speaker
For the 2023 awards, we’re demanding more of the same. Products that are low impact, high design, easy to use and easy on the eye, and – above all – make your life and living space just that little bit easier.
Most immersive brand home, 2022: Polestar Spaces
We believe that a Wallpaper* Smart Space Award is more than just an industry accolade; it’s a seal of approval for design that does its job and makes the world a better place. As always, we’ll present a bespoke edit of the award-winners in a special feature in the print edition of Wallpaper*, as well as in-depth coverage on our digital platforms and across our social media channels.
