The project has been awarded in the Lighting Fixtures category at the AZ Awards 2026, the international competition organised by AZURE Magazine, which, in its sixteenth edition, recognises the most outstanding innovations in architecture, design, interiors and urbanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The jury recognised in Liiu an exceptional synthesis of technological research, lightness and compositional freedom. More than a simple lighting fixture, Liiu presents itself as a modular system capable of evolving into a true luminous sculpture, adapting to configurations of varying scale and complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00abI was blown away by this.
