Presented by Marie Claire Maison and Consumer Guidance France, the TOP OF DESIGN award celebrates furniture and objects whose excellence reflects true craftsmanship.

It highlights distinctive creations that sit at the crossroads of elegance, innovation, and functionality — perfectly aligned with the Marie Claire Maison universe.

Driven by the magazine’s eclectic and forward-thinking spirit, this award embraces a refined and thoughtful vision of design.

An award for standout pieces… but not only

In line with Marie Claire Maison’s key editorial themes, the award is open to a wide range of creations: furniture, decorative objects, kitchen or bathroom sets.
The pieces don’t have to be brand new — but they should embody the excellence of sophisticated, functional, and meaningful design.

Demanding criteria for exceptional creations

Each entry will be assessed based on three core criteria: aesthetics, functionality, and quality.
Durability and other differentiating factors may also influence the jury’s choice.
There is no ranking: only creations that truly stand out will be rewarded.

Simple and quick application

You can submit your entry directly via the online form.
