Design Competition
TRANSFORM THE FUTURE 2009
Colourful, sustainable design for communities
NEW FOR 2009
- Open to design professionals as well as students
- Categories for products and interiors
Introduction
The 2008 competition attracted entries from every corner of the international design student community, with the winners coming from Argentina. For 2009, the competition format will expand to acknowledge the growing importance of sustainability as an element in the design mix.
'Transform the Future' encourages designers and students to go out into the community and spread the word that in design, 'sustainable' doesn't mean 'boring'. By seeking sustainable solutions to design problems, tomorrow's designers will make a huge contribution to the environmental performance of our buildings and products. And as Dalsouple's massive range of gorgeous colours and textures clearly shows, these days 'green design' should be anything but dull.
In previous years, the competition has focussed on interior design. This year we are introducing a new product design category. There are generous cash prizes for the winner and runner up, a special student prize of a work placement with top design agency Graven Images, and a flooring prize for the best interiors project.
This new competition encourages entrants to come up with sustainable design solutions, using our natural rubber material DalNaturel. The closing date for entries is 1 June 2009
Dalsouple is happy to make a free presentation to student groups or companies about the competition. We will make as many presentations as we can.
You can download a competition brochure and entry form from this page. You can also view details of the winning entries from previous years. If you have any questions about the competition, or would like to book a presentation, please email julie@dalsouple.com.
