Congratulations to the winners of the third annual ICONIC Design Awards presented by Monogram Luxury Appliances.
Going into our third year of this prestigious design competition, ICONIC LIFE saw more than 350 entries across four categories: interior design, architecture, landscape design and product design. We can’t express our gratitude enough for entering our competition.
The ICONIC Design Awards was designed to embrace integrity and inclusion. Our mission was to create an exciting awards competition with a foundation of integrity.
Winners were evaluated by an esteemed jury of peers across the country. Entries were submitted and judged anonymously, and the ICONIC LIFE team was not involved in the judging process. There was no popular voting, no required professional association and no advertising requirement to submit an entree.
Each year, we want this competition to represent the best designers and creatives in our community; it’s open to all professionals.
To celebrate our outstanding design community–and the winners of our design competition– we hosted an elegant and exciting evening at the Scottsdale Center for Performing Arts on October 11, 2025, presented by Monogram Luxury Appliances and emceed by the acclaimed Catherine Anaya.

At the center of the formal living room, a custom-designed freestanding fireplace stands as the defining architectural element. Conceived from the project’s inception as a permanent fixture, the fireplace was designed as the architectural core around which the entire floor plan unfolds.
The fireplace emerges from a marble base. From there, it transitions into a layered glass surround—a contemporary gesture that introduces lightness, transparency, and reflection.
The vertical form is crowned by a custom laser-cut, backlit decorative grill. This intentional element emits a soft, ambient glow, enriching the room’s atmosphere as the day turns to night.
The fireplace defines the experience of the space. It’s 360-degree orientation invites engagement while acting as a subtle spatial divider. The material composition speaks to a refined sensibility and an uncompromising commitment to craftsmanship.
This is an ICONIC fixture, standing as an expression of the project’s values: timeless design, architectural integration, and sculptural presence.

Offering a raw, organic, and visually captivating focal point, this powder room vanity is crafted from a hand-selected natural granite boulder and designed to fit within the space.
Stylistically, it has a natural front face, a polished top, and an integrated sink basin outfitted with luxurious Kohler hardware. The natural finish of the vanity’s exterior offers an earthy, tactile aesthetic.
The vanity is complemented by a chevron textured floor-to-ceiling backsplash and a geode-inspired Phillip Jeffries Granite wall covering, crafted with flakes of mica and minerals for a uniquely tactile finish.
A live-edge wood shelf also floats underneath the vessel, further complementing the vanity by gently reflecting its natural, fluid form. A mirror and chandelier complete the vanity’s surroundings, offering function and a sense of natural curvature.
The result is a vanity that defines its surroundings, instilling this powder room with a natural aesthetic that is uniquely organic and equally unforgettable.

The architect drew on his faith, passion for music, and gift for design to provide a new home for a pipe organ at his long-time church, envisioning a beautiful case surrounding the elaborate instrument.
The church purchased Fisk Opus 67 from a church in Indiana. Designed by Charles Brenton Fisk, it produced a sound so beautiful it reminded the architect of a chamber choir. The organ was transported for repair and refurbishment at Fisk headquarters in Gloucester, Mass., before the architect designed its enormous case, becoming the first non-Fisk employee to create a Fisk organ case.
While traditional cases are ornate, this one is clean and modern. Cut from oak, the case represents the Trinity, with wood pipes on each side joined by tin pipes reaching upward like hands in prayer. An inset of spalted wood centers the framework, while the architect’s son designed and 3D-printed custom pulls with the organist.
The revamped organ now supports choral and congregational singing while hosting visiting choirs and musical groups.

Inspired by the harmony of music and geometry, the Pentagramma Collection reimagines outdoor furniture as an artistic statement. This collection was born from a collaboration between a renowned Italian designer and a leading outdoor furniture brand. The collection transforms linear forms into dynamic, expressive compositions, celebrating the interplay of shape, color and texture.
The craftsmanship behind each piece reflects a meticulous process that combines hand-weaving techniques with durable, weather-resistant materials, ensuring aesthetic appeal and longevity in diverse outdoor settings.
The creative challenge was to balance bold, graphic patterns with comfort and functionality. By innovating weaving techniques and testing new rope configurations, the design team achieved a visually striking and ergonomically inviting collection. The Pentagramma Collection transcends conventional outdoor furniture, offering designers a versatile canvas to create memorable, personalized outdoor spaces that harmonize art, design, and nature.
