Why the Extra C-Tap was recognized
The Extra C-Tap received a Special Mention for its combination of aesthetics, performance, and impact:
- Aesthetics cover the visible shape and materiality of the product, including form, detailing, and quality. The Extra C-Tap’s aesthetic was judged for having a clear stance on its relationship to the architecture it inhabits and the users who will experience it.
- Performance refers to achieving the often complex goals for which the product is intended. This includes innovations that utilize new materials, improve existing building practices, or address new needs. In the case of the Extra C-Tap, it helps save millions of plastic bottles from the landfill every year, has been documented to deliver double digit returns on investment, and every purchase pulls 5lbs of plastic from the ocean in partnership with 4ocean.
- Impact refers to a product’s potential to change the way buildings are designed and built. Product designers and brands must embrace new technologies and shifting demands and trends in order to remain relevant. Products that work to improve existing materials and practices, and push technical and conceptual boundaries are considered impactful. High scores were given to products that attempt to catalyze positive change. Both short-term, immediate impacts and long-term, potential impacts were taken into consideration.
The recognition confirms Vivreau’s position as one of the world’s most distinguished brands.
