Competition overview
VOX is a Poland-based interior design brand known for innovative ceiling, wall, facade, and interior solutions that combine aesthetics, durability and functionality.
With a strong focus on transforming everyday surfaces into expressive design elements, VOX encourages architects and designers to look at ceilings not just as a finishing layer, but as a powerful part of spatial storytelling.
The VOX Design Challenge was created to celebrate innovative and impactful ceiling design in architecture and interiors. It invites architects and designers to showcase built projects where VOX Ceiling solutions have been used creatively as an integral part of the overall design vision.
The VOX Design Challenge is open to architects and designers of all ages, making it more inclusive and accessible to a wider design community. Unlike other competition categories, the below-35 age criterion does not apply here. This category also features a renowned jury from Zaha Hadid Architects.
The VOX Design Challenge encourages designers to reimagine ceilings as a bold design statement rather than just a functional surface. It also comes with exciting rewards, including a grand prize of a Mercedes GLA 200.
