We won!
nmbello Studio has been awarded the 2021 “Life-Enhancer of the Year Award” by Wallpeper* Paper Magazine.
“Marcus-Bello’s clever and conscientious design won over the judges of the 2021 Wallpaper* Design Awards, who unanimously named it our Life-Enhancer of the Year. Our reigning Designer of the Year, Sabine Marcelis, commented that it’s ‘a necessity taken for granted by so many of us, brought to a community in need. Design at its best is about solving problems like these to save lives and support communities.’ Adds Ivy Ross, vice president of hardware at Google: ‘We should be creating more designs that manifest this way in the world.’”
