We’ve always believed that technology can sometimes be intimidating and overwhelming – and even unnecessary – and the 2020s haven’t exactly seen a slowdown in the take-up of new ideas, from AI in all its forms to folding phones and a plethora of E-bikes and EVs.

Over four years, the Wallpaper* Smart Space Awards have garnered a reputation for cutting through hype and unwanted complexity to reward the products and services that honour the promise of life-enhancing technology. Whether it’s style, simplicity, sustainability or pure invention, Smart Space is not about technology for technology’s sake.
