At Evergreen Award, we don’t hand out awards lightly. With hundreds of companies across the U.S. competing in the realm of outdoor living systems, only one stood out for its brilliant blend of design, technology, and eco-conscious innovation. That’s why we’re proud to announce Pergo Centro as the winner of the Best Innovative Pergola System in the United States of 2025.
A Pergola That Thinks for You

Pergo Centro isn’t just redefining outdoor living—it’s reimagining it. At the heart of their product line is a philosophy that combines Belgian engineering excellence with American usability and comfort. Their flagship aluminum pergola system, SO!, offers something few in the industry can match: intelligent motor control powered by geolocation.
This means the pergola can track the sun’s movement and adjust itself accordingly throughout the day—completely hands-free. That’s not just a convenience; it’s a leap into the future of automated living.

And yes, it’s whisper-quiet during rainstorms.
Award-Winning Recognition
Already a recipient of prestigious international accolades such as the Red Dot Best of the Best award for product design, Pergo Centro’s SO! system dazzled judges with its seamless, integrated tech—concealed lighting, speakers, and sockets that blend effortlessly into the minimalist design. It’s more than a pergola. It’s an experience.
In the words of the Red Dot jury: “The SO! includes state-of-the-art technologies that you can easily operate using the smartphone app.”
And this year, it’s earned another elite title from us.
Not Just Products—A Philosophy
What also sets Pergo Centro apart is their deep-rooted commitment to sustainability. Solar-powered screens, a brand-owned forest in Belgium, and a long-term customer-first relationship model reflect their belief in shaping a better future—one shaded space at a time.

That mission is felt in every detail—from sustainable materials to low-energy automation.
