Several Elisava Alumni among the selected projects of the Delta Awards 2026

The ADI-FAD has announced the selected projects for the Delta Awards 2026. Out of 422 submissions, the jury has selected over 200 projects that will be featured in the exhibition, opening on July 22 at the Disseny Hub Barcelona. The awards ceremony will take place the same day.

This edition brings back the award’s original name, Delta Awards, established in 1961, and introduces a new category, Disueño, dedicated to experimental projects that explore the conceptual boundaries of industrial design. Among the selected projects, there is a strong presence of Elisava-affiliated professionals, both as designers and jury members.

Alumni on the jury

The panel evaluating professional submissions included five Elisava Alumni: Joan Forrellad, Roser Estelrich, Bernat Faura, Mario Montull, and Joan Recasens.
