The Monalia Hotel in Parga by G2Lab is the August Monthly Winner of the #ShapingSurfaces competition by #Cleaf. Built in the middle of a lush olive grove the complex offers a luxurious retreat that promotes a harmonious coexistence with the natural environment. Following the topography of the land, the villas and suites are built on two levels, integrating the underground structures and ensuring unobstructed views of the Ionian Sea. The emphasis on simplicity, natural materials, and integration into the landscape with the smallest possible footprint are the main points of the project. The use of a warm colour palette for concrete, wood, ceramics and fabrics evokes summer life outdoors. In this context, the extraordinary aspect of Fusion T057-FA44, which incorporates a fabric within a rigid surface, was chosen for the wardrobe doors, kitchens and headboards. Instead, Paglia UB40 was chosen for the kitchen wall units.

The Patio House in Athens by Creative Architects is the July Monthly Winner of the #ShapingSurfaces competition by #Cleaf. The challenge of this project was to optimise spatial efficiency while ensuring a comfortable living environment. The transition from indoor to outdoor spaces blurs the boundaries between the built environment and the natural world, visually extending the interior spaces and creating a sense of spaciousness. In addition, the reflections of the pool water on the concrete walls add depth and dimension to the space, creating an interplay of light and texture. This is further enhanced by the materials used in the interior: BRUCIATO U129 for the wardrobes creates a visual contrast, and ARES FB70 in the bathroom blends seamlessly with the concrete walls and grey floor tiles.

The ExMahalo restaurant in Turin by Studio Arketo is the June Monthly Winner of the #ShapingSurfaces competition by #Cleaf. The philosophy of well-being and joy of living of the Hawaiian culture is conveyed in both the food and the environment, creating an experience that involves taste and sight. Soft colours and light flavours combined with a few accents, from land to sea, perfectly describe a place of encounters, freedom and love for life. The petrol blue colour, with its strong reference to the marine environment, is declined in the three-dimensional texture of CHEOPE UB42 for the coating of the food preparation counters and in the smooth touch of OVATTA UB42 for the table tops. On the other hand, the earthy atmosphere is enhanced by the elegant grain of the elm wood effect of FRONDA S164, used to cover the storage units and table tops.

The fifth edition of #ShapingSurfaces is online. The competition calls architects and interior designers to submit their interior projects that include #CleafSurfaces. Every month a jury consisting of professionals from #Cleaf will assign the Shaping Surfaces Monthly Award, taking into consideration both the innovation of the interior design and the best use of Cleaf surfaces. In April 2025, during the #SalonedelMobile, the jury, supported by a group of design enthusiasts, will assign the Shaping Surfaces Annual Award by selecting a project among the monthly winners. Winners of the first four editions were the Banema Studio Concept Store (Lisbon) by Campos Costa Arquitetos, the XV House (Athens) by #AUDOarchitects, the Groupotel Gravina (Barcelona) by Inzink Design and The MIlano Verticale Hotel by Vudafieri Saverino Partners. The prize for the firms of the winning projects is a direct assignment for the set-up of the Cleaf corporate showroom in Lissone, which is renewed every year on the occasion of the Salone del Mobile.Milano. Campos Costa Arquitetos therefore created Cleaf Club in 2022, AUDO Like a bar in 2023, Inzink Design Living small in 2024 and Vudafieri-Saverino Partners will develop the project in 2025. Having the opportunity to work together with firms with various design approaches is very interesting. It allows us to find solutions for very different concepts, both in terms of style and function.
