Wallpaper* 2026 Design Awards

Blēo has won the Wallpaper* 2026 Design Award in the “Best Scene Stealers” category, recognising the growing universe of paint and tile collections developed in close collaboration with some of the world’s most influential creative voices. The award acknowledges Blēo’s contemporary approach to colour and surface, where paint and tiles are treated not as secondary finishes, but as defining architectural elements. Through ongoing collaborations with internationally recognised architects, designers and studios, Blēo has built a body of work that explores how colour, material and repetition can shape atmosphere, spatial experience and emotional response.

The Wallpaper* Design Awards celebrate outstanding achievements across architecture, interiors, fashion, art and technology, highlighting projects that shape contemporary culture and the way we live with design. The 2026 award trophy is designed by FormaFantasma, whose practice is known for its deep engagement with material culture, process and critical design. The object reflects the values celebrated by the awards: craft, material intelligence and conceptual clarity.

This recognition marks an important moment for Blēo and affirms the brand’s ongoing ambition to collaborate with leading creative voices to develop new approaches to colour, surface and spatial experience.
