Sculptural Seating

Posted: 06 Feb 2014 10:44 AM PST

The Armada High Armchair is defined by its forceful design and exceptional lightness, accomplished by combining the tiniest materials and giving this piece of furniture a sculptural aesthetic. The internal construction is composed of super-strong steel and covered in high quality leather or fur. A unique magnet system keeps its cushions seamlessly in place!

Winners receive prestige, bragging rights and international media coverage, moreover don't wait any longer—finish up your entries, and submit them before entry fees increase. Want to know some sure-fire ways to win this year? Hit the jump, cause I’ve got some handy tips for you inside.

First things first, here are the upcoming deadlines:

  • Feb. 14, 2014, 11:59 PM EST | Regular application deadline:

Make your entry stand out!

Tell a story – Bring your design to life by clearly explaining why the project was taken on in the first place – what is its purpose and why it's a better solution/product than other designs.

Keep it short – Tell a concise story. It is a challenge to condense all the thinking behind your design project, so focus on the key points that are most thought provoking and insightful to your unique approach.

Know your competition – If there are similar products in the market (or possibly the competition) address how yours is different in the experience of, or the benefits to, the end user.

Make it visual – In your supporting PDF document, be sure to include as many unique product images as possible; different angles, examples of the product's use and anything that will help the jurors experience the product during the initial online judging round.

Cuts Like A Knife

Posted: 06 Feb 2014 09:12 AM PST

Simply love this WMF Kitchen Knife Concept for its geometric aesthetics and the fact that it is crafted from a single piece of metal. Essentially, the knife is characterized by blended volume and how the gradient gently mergers the layers. The design screams high-end luxury and me likes that!

Post Stone Age Lighting

Posted: 06 Feb 2014 12:01 AM PST

The MIKA 350 is a pendant lamp inspired by the “palozzas” houses of the ancient Celtic forts that were built in Galicia from 6th century BC. The design pays homage to the architectural tradition by using the same granite and wood composition. The result is a minimalist yet organic object that easily compliments both traditional and modern interiors.

Industrial Elegance at Its Best

Posted: 06 Feb 2014 12:01 AM PST

The Robert stool’s uses robust tubular steel in contrast with thin hand-carved wood to create an aesthetic that is at once industrial and elegant. The seat is curved for seamless comfort and displays a striking diagonal accent inlay. The base’s colorful powder coated finish emphasizes the toughness of the material, ensuring that users can be confident in the durability of the design.

Koo Koo for Cork

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 12:01 AM PST

Gone are the days of using cork only for preserving wine! The mergence of the material in furniture-building has given designers the opportunity to craft eco-friendly pieces with unique (sometimes eccentric) looks. The Blackcork series demonstrates the flexibility, strength and versatility of the cork in a series of elegant stools, chairs, tables, shelving and even mirrors. Which is your fav?!
