Actiu celebrates the prestigious German Design Award for its Dorik tables

Some designs that occupy space and define it. On 6 February in Frankfurt, our Dorik tables were distinguished with the German Design Award, one of the most coveted seals of excellence on the international scene. This award celebrates a product and a vision: Actiu's ability to fuse architectural heritage with contemporary innovation.

Inspiration: from classical order to experience-driven office

Dorik's design, created by Odosdesign for Actiu, is an exercise in balance. Its name and essence pay homage to the Doric columns of ancient Greece, fundamental pillars of classical architecture that represented strength and proportion.

The product combines the robustness of geometric shapes with visual lightness. Each element has been carefully thought out to evoke a sense of stability and timeless elegance. There are also echoes of nature in these tables, with flowing lines and breathing materials, creating a serene and productive environment. The fusion of these concepts results in a functional table that is an artistic piece capable of transforming any environment.

Actiu's DNA: the art of functionality

Receiving the German Design Award reaffirms Actiu's commitment to creating Life Friendly Spaces products. Design does not end with aesthetics, it begins with the well-being of the user. Dorik is the result of a process where industrial technology is put at the service of handcrafted detail, achieving a piece that is, at the same time, a work tool and a functional work of art.

Artistic Dialogue: Dorik by Pils Ferrer

To commemorate this international recognition, we explore the limits of Dorik through the eyes of Spanish artist Pils Ferrer. Known for her mastery of collage technique, Pils has created a unique visual interpretation of the piece.

In this collaboration, the architectural language of the table is intertwined with the artist's dreamlike and botanical universe, which evokes the Mediterranean origins of the table and the brand. The result is a collage that decomposes and reassembles the essence of Dorik, highlighting its elegance through an explosion of textures, colour and surrealism.

This artistic work symbolises the union between the precision of industrial design and the freedom of creative expression.

A timeless design. Dorik is born of this precise dialogue between architectural heritage and the contemporary avant-garde, demonstrating that the solidity of history and the lightness of innovation can coexist in the same piece. It is the triumph of detail, the celebration of a design that understands that to be truly modern, it must first be timeless.
