Ridgeline impresses the expert jury: First place at Architects’ Choice 2026

We are delighted to announce a special recognition: our product Ridgeline has been honored with the Architects’ Choice 2026 by Callwey and received first place in the product award category “The Most Beautiful Restaurants, Hotels, and Bars.”

Following its successful launch at Milan Design Week 2025 and the strong response from the architecture and design community, Schotten & Hansen’s product Ridgeline continues its success story. In 2026, the collection will be expanded to include two new colourways – Light and Medium – which will be presented for the first time at Milan Design Week 2026. The new colours will be on display at the Janua & Freifrau stand at Salone del Mobile, Pavilion 12, M18

The Architects’ Choice Award is regarded as a distinguished recognition for companies whose products make a significant contribution to high-quality architectural and design projects. The focus lies on solutions for the hospitality sector, where aesthetics, atmosphere and materiality play a decisive role. This recognition is particularly meaningful as it is based on the judgement of a distinguished jury of architects and designers. The award emphasises Ridgeline’s commitment to combining design, functionality, and quality at the highest level.

We warmly thank the jury for this recognition, as well as Callwey Verlag and everyone involved
