Best of the Best
for AERRA HAZE
Red Dot 2026:
Best of the Best –
goes to AERRA HAZE.
AERRA HAZE is “Best of the Best” – awarded for outstanding design quality. AERRA HAZE by VALLONE® combines material contrasts with architectural clarity. The sculptural washbasin ensemble acts as a design metaphor, embodying perception and awareness – a diffusion that transitions into clear reflection. A reduced composition, honoured with the Red Dot Design Award 2026 “Best of the Best”.
Natural stone and stainless steel come together to form a calm, vertically oriented object. The design is “so self-evident at first glance – and derives a particular strength precisely from this quality. […] This quiet reduction is compelling while at the same time possessing an exceptional presence,” according to the Red Dot jury.
DESIGN
VALLONE® Design Team & Pierre Neirinckx
AERRA and AERRA HAZE follow a design approach that does not resolve duality, but deliberately embraces it: cold and warm, technical and organic, horizontal and vertical. Contrasts in materiality give rise to design objects that move between visual and tactile perception.
