At the 2024 German Design Award, Mash Designs earned the Special Mention in the Excellent Product Design – Furniture category for its groundbreaking sofa “Knot my Sofa” – a masterpiece that marries avant-garde aesthetics with functional ingenuity. This accolade underscores the studio’s commitment to pushing design boundaries.
The German Design Award is globally revered for its rigorous evaluation by a jury of industry leaders, renowned designers, and sustainability experts. Entries are assessed across innovation, functionality, material sustainability, ergonomic value, and societal impact. The Special Mention awarded to “Knot my Sofa” validates its exceptional design integrity and holistic value proposition, solidifying its status as a benchmark in contemporary furniture design.

Post-award, inquiries from high-end retailers and hospitality groups have surged, accelerating the brand’s expansion into European and Asian markets.
