AUSTIN, Texas (June 9, 2025) — Vadara, a leading manufacturer of artisan handcrafted quartz surfaces, is proud to announce that its coveted quartz Scandi Blue design has been honored with the prestigious Platinum ADEX Award for Design Excellence.
Presented annually by Design Journal, the ADEX (Awards for Design Excellence) Awards recognize superior product design across the architecture and design industry. Scandi Blue stood out among its competition for the quartz’s striking aesthetics, inspired by the sapphire blue water which flows between the rugged cliffs of the Norwegian Fjords.
“We are thrilled to receive the Platinum ADEX Award for Scandi Blue,” said Ed Rogers, Executive Vice President of US Surfaces, the parent company of Vadara. “This recognition validates our commitment to pushing the boundaries of quartz design by blending natural inspiration with modern sophistication. Scandi Blue captures a serene spirit that resonates with today’s design-conscious consumers.”
The design features cool, whispering blue undertones layered with soft veining evoking the essence of Scandinavia’s tranquil beauty.
This award marks another milestone in Vadara’s journey to redefine engineered stone surfaces with imaginative, artful expression. As the demand for stylish, durable surfaces continues to grow, Scandi Blue exemplifies the brand’s ability to deliver on beauty, function, and design-forward thinking.
