ALPHARETTA, GA.—LX Hausys America Inc., an innovative manufacturer of building and decorative materials, announced that its TERACANTO Superior White porcelain surface has received a 2025 GOOD DESIGN Award in the Building Materials category.
The award is presented by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies. Founded in Chicago in 1950 by Eero Saarinen and Charles and Ray Eames, GOOD DESIGN is the world’s oldest and most recognized program for design excellence.
This year, the competition received a record number of submissions from manufacturers and design firms representing more than 55 countries. In November and December, the 75th GOOD DESIGN jury selected more than 1,100 product designs and graphics for recognition based on design, function and innovation.
A Polished Finish with a Milky White & Soft Gray Base
TERACANTO Superior White was recognized for its design-driven approach to porcelain surfacing that combines visual impact with material performance and sustainability. Inspired by the natural stone “Super White,” the surface features a polished finish with a milky white and soft gray base accented by bold gray veining. The cloudy movement and layered patterning create depth while maintaining a neutral palette suited to a range of interior and exterior applications.
“We are honored that TERACANTO Superior White has been recognized with a 2025 GOOD DESIGN Award,” said Mike Morici, Vice President of Surfaces and Channel Management at LX Hausys America. “This award reflects our commitment to developing high-performance porcelain surfaces that meet the evolving needs of designers and architects.”
Manufactured from 100 percent natural raw materials and fired at temperatures exceeding 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit, TERACANTO porcelain is engineered to deliver a dense, nonporous surface. Superior White is resistant to heat, scratches and acids and does not require sealants or special treatments. It is suitable for use in countertops, vanities, wall cladding and flooring in residential and commercial environments.
Available in a Large Format
TERACANTO Superior White is available in a large-format 63-inch by 126-inch slab with a 1.2-centimeter thickness and polished finish. The format supports expansive installations with fewer seams and reduced grout lines while allowing for efficient handling and fabrication.
In addition to its performance characteristics, TERACANTO porcelain is fully recyclable and free from resins, adhesives and toxic binders. It meets NSF standards for food safety and hygiene and is resistant to UV exposure, allowing for continuity between indoor and outdoor applications.
The recognition of TERACANTO Superior White in the 2025 GOOD DESIGN Awards underscores LX Hausys America’s focus on design-led innovation in building materials.
