About the Awards
 |
Ciim Awards are sponsored by MG Trade, a young and dynamic
Italian Company that invented , produces and distributes Alulife.
Alulife is a surprising material which recreates the idea
of the space of design. The particular patented working changes
the traditionally cold surface of aluminium into a warm and
bright material. Alulife allows to apply wide surfaces of
aluminium without interruption, fitting to any circumstances.
Alulife can be used both for internal and external spaces,
giving the best expression to design: it is a revelation to
get in touch with unexplored territories. From skyscrapers
to swimming pools, from tables to doors, from shelves to any
architectural detail. Everywhere at home, in business, commercial
environments and so on.
Everywhere Alulife challenges the imagination of the designer.
