Hinoki wins Editors’ Pick at the 2025 Best of Products Awards

We’re excited to announce that the Hinoki handle, designed by Alexis Vivet, has been awarded an Editors’ Pick in the Hardware – Decorative category of the 2025 Best of Products Awards, organized by The Architect’s Newspaper (New York).

The Best of Products Awards are an initiative by The Architect’s Newspaper, a publication regarded by architects and designers as a benchmark for industry trends and products. These awards recognize excellence in products aimed at the professional design community.

The award-winning Hinoki handle pays homage to the balanced beauty of Eastern design. Designer Alexis Vivet drew inspiration from the purity and timelessness of the Hinoki cypress —cherished in Japan for generations— to create a handle defined by harmonious proportions, purposeful angles and a meticulously measured design. The award has been given to the entire Hinoki collection, which includes the Hinoki, Hinoki Big, Hinoki Wood, and Hinoki Wood Big models.

At Viefe, we’re proud to receive this recognition celebrating the union between tradition and modernity, reminding us that small design accessories have the power to transform spaces. Thank you to The Architect’s Newspaper, and congratulations to Alexis Vivet and everyone involved in this award!
