Prestigious awards for the best luxury front door in the world
It might seem that, in the field of front door design, there’s hardly any room for innovation. However, for decades, companies like Pirnar have been proving otherwise. Innovative design and breakthrough technologies developed by Pirnar in the luxury front door sector are the proof of endless possibilities for innovation and growth that are only limited by imagination. For their invaluable contributions in the field of modern front door design, Pirnar’s hand-made front doors have received countless nominations and numerous prestigious design awards throughout the world.
In 2017, front doors by Pirnar received the prestigious GERMAN DESIGN AWARD along with two GERMAN DESIGN AWARD SPECIAL MENTION prizes in 2015 and 2017 by the same organisation. In 2016, Pirnar was also the recipient of the ARCHITIZER A+AWARD. Alongside the awards, Pirnar has also been the recipient of a number of nominations and prizes for outstanding achievements in design and innovation in technology.
Pirnar’s adage is, “We are not attempting to make a quality front door; instead, what we produce are masterpieces,” while designers and awarding bodies in the field of design have recognised the fact that each hand-made front door by Pirnar is an inspired work of art. We will continue to develop, design and meticulously create luxury front doors that will leave those who value excellence and aim to surpass the mundaneness of the everyday through design and home decor speechless.
