Winners in Design Talents August 2025

Nova Felix wins Design Talent’s first prize

Formex Design Talents is the competition for not yet established designers and designers where they are given the opportunity to meet the industry and showcase their products to buyers, producers and the media. From these nominees, one of the entries is finally selected as the winner of the “Best in Show” and today the August 2025 winner was announced – Nova Felix.

The idea was born when Nova Felix renovated a 19th century apartment and was looking for a ceiling rose with more personality. This was the starting point for Rebel Rosettes – a collection that gives new life to the classic ceiling rosette by mixing historical forms with contemporary references and a dose of humor. With a production that combines 3D printing and traditional plaster casting, we combine modern technology with solid craftsmanship.

The result is ceiling decorations that stand out, arouse curiosity and work just as well in modern homes as in older environments. The collection continues to evolve with new themes, with the aim of making the ceiling an unexpectedly expressive element of interior design.

– It’s amazing to see something we’ve been working on for over two years get such a great response – and from our dream audience – is absolutely incredible. Winning Best on Show has really given meaning to all the late nights we’ve spent working on our collection, and we can’t wait to see where this takes us. We are delighted that our product was so well received by the judges and look forward to meeting all the visitors at Formex,” said Julie Wilkinson, co-founder of Nova Felix.
