About the nomination
Every object, beyond its function and aesthetics, carries a story. The true talent of a product designer shines brightest when developing a collection where each piece enhances and complements the overall concept, revealing a new level of depth and approach.
This year, the nomination features projects that represent a series of items. Both realized and conceptual projects that have yet to find physical form are eligible for nomination, provided they reflect an original idea and are designed with production capabilities in mind. The format of the objects can vary widely: tableware, decor, furniture, lighting, small architectural forms, and other items for interiors and spaces.
Terms and requirements
Components of the Final Project:
1. A description of the concept and the name of the collection. 2. Research that has shaped the project’s concept. 3. Visualizations of the design solution. Each object should be presented from different angles and in various contexts of use. The visualizations must clearly convey its appearance, dimensions, and materials. At least one image representing the entire collection is required. 4. Production technologies used.
Participants may enhance their project with sketches, videos on open platforms, and other materials that strengthen the presentation if they wish.
Evaluation criteria
The best projects combine expressiveness, novelty, conceptual depth, functionality, and feasibility. The design presentation aligns with current trends in graphic design and the project’s overall concept.
