Superdupertube
Superdupertube has been awarded the DOGA Award for Design and Architecture 2026 for its pioneering work in material innovation and circular design. The award is presented by Design and Architecture Norway to projects that demonstrate how design and architecture can create long term value for society, business, and the planet. DOGA highlights three main reasons for the recognition.
First, the award acknowledges the development of an entirely new extrudable biocomposite material based on hemp, sugarcane starch, and wood cellulose. The material replaces aluminium and significantly reduces the use of fossil raw materials, while opening up new possibilities for large scale industrial production.
Second, Superdupertube is recognised as a clear example of circular design in practice. The luminaire is designed for a long lifespan with replaceable components, is recyclable and industrially compostable, and developed to be used for at least 20 years.
Third, DOGA emphasises the open and generous sharing of knowledge behind the project. By sharing processes, test data, and material recipes, Superdupertube contributes to a broader knowledge boost within the industry and demonstrates how new bio based materials can achieve impact far beyond a single project.
