HIDEO Triumphs with Sustainability Award at Archiproducts Design Awards 2025

Late in October 2023, HIDEO Corporation announced a significant victory at the Archiproducts Design Awards (ADA) 2025. The firm’s latest bathtub, the TR-1500-E / TRONO-BIO, won the esteemed Sustainability Award within the bathroom category. This recognition is a testament to HIDEO's commitment to innovative design and sustainable production practices, marking the third accolade the brand has received at these prestigious awards.

A Blend of Design and Functionality

The award-winning TR-1500-E / TRONO-BIO is a remarkable fusion of circular and square design elements, offering two distinct bathing experiences that promote relaxation while emphasizing water conservation. The spacious bathing chair is engineered for comfort, enabling users to indulge in half-body baths that enhance relaxation. Furthermore, the bathtub's construction utilizes Cristalplant® Biobased, a sustainable material recognized for its beauty and eco-friendly properties—demonstrating how aesthetics can harmonize with environmental consciousness.

Launch Plans

Set to debut in Japan in December 2025, the TR-1500-E will be available for pre-order, allowing customers to take part in HIDEO's progressive approach to sustainable luxury.

The Importance of Sustainability Awards

The Sustainability Award, which was hosted for the third time this year, is dedicated to celebrating outstanding brands in the realm of sustainable design and the circular economy. Evaluation criteria include the use of recyclable and biodegradable materials, low-impact production cycles, and optimization of product life cycles, thus framing HIDEO as a leader in this field.

The 2025 awards ceremony unveiled additional remarkable designs characterized by their sustainable approaches, with winners revealed during Milan's Fuorisalone, the pinnacle event of Milan Design Week.

Celebrating with Unique Trophies

In recognition of this remarkable achievement, a special trophy, designed by Michele De Lucchi and crafted by RIVA1920 using fragrant Lebanese cedar, was presented. The trophy's design draws inspiration from the hexagonal geometric pattern of the ADA logo, with a unique form that seamlessly blends aesthetics and functional usability.

Jury Excellence

The jury for the Sustainability Awards comprises experts from the architecture and design industry specializing in eco-design and sustainability. They evaluated the submissions based on criteria including the use of recyclable and biodegradable materials, production techniques that minimize pollutant emissions, and the environmental impacts across the product lifecycle. Winners were announced on November 6, 2025, at the Superstudio Più in Milan, further solidifying the importance of sustainable practices within the industry.
