Synk wins Fit Out Product of the Year with Luxury Concrete Products at the Fit Out Awards 2025

Commended for innovation during 2025, Synk secured the Fit Out Product of the Year award at the Fit Out Awards 2025 for its Luxury Concrete Products, a range that challenges conventional perceptions of concrete as a utilitarian material by positioning it as a premium finish capable of competing with natural stone and engineered surfaces.

The product line integrates heritage Irish materials, including Connemara marble aggregate, into bespoke concrete formulations that deliver aesthetic distinction while addressing growing demand for locally sourced, low-embodied-carbon alternatives to imported stone. This approach responds directly to tightening sustainability requirements across commercial fit-outs, where specifiers increasingly balance design ambition against environmental performance metrics.

Judges noted Synk's execution across technical and creative dimensions. The company has deployed its products across 75 international projects, demonstrating scalability beyond boutique applications. Each installation is handcrafted, allowing customisation in colour, texture, and aggregate composition, critical flexibility for designers working within complex brand guidelines or heritage constraints.

"Synk impressed the judges with their Luxury Concrete Products that transform concrete into premium, handcrafted showpieces that redefine contemporary fit-out design. By blending exceptional craftsmanship with sustainable practices and heritage materials like Connemara marble, this entrant delivers artistry with purpose and longevity," the judging panel stated.

The recognition arrives as material specification becomes increasingly strategic within fit-out procurement. Clients now evaluate products not solely on aesthetics but on lifecycle durability, carbon impact, and supply chain provenance. Synk's win demonstrates how Irish manufacturers can compete internationally by combining technical innovation with sustainable material sourcing.

As entries open for the 2026 awards cycle, the challenge stands: which product innovations will redefine material standards across Ireland's built environment?
