The winners of the International 3D Awards

The award ceremony was held at the company’s showroom in the capital, where, during the Madrid Design Festival, an exhibition featuring the selected works is hosted.

Gandia Blasco Group reveals the winners of the inaugural edition of the International 3D Awards, the first-ever global 3D creation competition aimed at artists and creatives, bringing together a furniture company with a 3D model platform, BoModels.

With an annual mission, this initiative invites 3D artists, art directors, and creatives from around the world to explore Gandia Blasco Group’s visual universe, connecting it with nature to create designs that emphasize the importance of preserving our natural environment. Therefore, biofilia as the central theme, the participation of over 90 candidates from 20 countries and the quality of their projects in the event’s first run affirm that the International 3D Awards initiative holds a promising future.

In the first category, “Art Direction and Photography”, the Jury of the International 3D Awards credited the works of winner Ángel Pérez, and finalists Francesco D’amario and Kseniia Tkacheva. The second category, “Best Technical/Artistic Quality”, praises the technical and artistic excellence of winner Jorge Rodríguez Fram, and finalists Kseniia Tkacheva and Andoni Tsolingkas. Within the “Students” category, the 3D Award was awarded to Pablo Fernández Montes, while Burak Demirci and Galliah Taclobao were shortlisted as finalists.
