Since it rolled off the sketch pad of Azenco’s CEO & Co-founder, Charles Chapus, the K-BANA™ modular cabana system has continued to stack up professional accolades. The innovative outdoor living structure had previously received multiple Vesta Awards from Hearth & Home Magazine, a Most Valuable Product Award from Residential Products Magazine, and a 2023 IIDA Product Design Award. Now, the visionary outdoor living structure has been recognized with a 2023 NY Product Design Award from the International Awards Associate (IAA) as well!
In the second season of the 2023 Awards, the Azenco K-BANA™ earned a Silver Award in the Garden Appliances & Garden Equipment – Smart Garden Products / Devices category. Winning this NY Product Design Award is a testament to Chapus’ visionary approach to outdoor design that elevated the K-BANA™ from a highly competitive international field.
“It is an honor to have our design recognized by our creative peers in such a prestigious competition,” said Chapus. “This award is an amazing recognition of the work of the entire Azenco team required to take an innovative product like the K-BANA™ from drawing board to a precision manufactured reality.”
The Innovative Azenco K-BANA™
The Azenco K-BANA™ is a modular aluminum cabana system that can be customized to bring luxurious appointments to residential backyards, resort pool decks, restaurant rooftop decks, and more. With innumerable unique footprints able to be crafted from its modular 8×8, to 10×10, to 12×12 square foot sections, the K-BANA™ fits uniquely-shaped outdoor spaces of just about any size. Its customizable features allow customers to choose from manual louvered roof sections or fixed insulated roofing, static or sliding louvered walls, and includes a floor system ready to fit with the cabana’s surrounds seamlessly. With a hidden internal gutter system, the K-BANA™ ensures guests gathering for dinner on the patio or relaxing poolside are kept dry during passing showers and cool under the heat of the sun’s rays. Lightweight yet sturdy, the K-Bana™ is a great option for creating outdoor living spaces on elevated decks where structural weight is limited, and its unique design categorizes it as “outdoor furniture” in most jurisdictions, which means it can often be erected without complicated permitting system.
"Once again, the NY Product Design Awards takes pride in serving as a stage to celebrate and recognize outstanding designers and their contributions, exemplified by Mr. Charles Chapus from Azenco. As the design industry continually evolves and the competition reaches new heights annually, we eagerly anticipate witnessing the influx of exceptional works in the years to come."
