Inside the bathroom
Il Salone dell'Arredobagno/The Bathroom Fittings Show and Designboom unveil their international on-line competition 'Inside the bathroom', aimed at designers and architects from all over the world.
The bathroom world has been going through a transformation in recent years. Materials have changed, as have the various factors and trends influencing purchases, even purchasers' wishes have changed. Bathrooms are increasingly being seen as places to be shown off, where design and innovative ideas play a determining role. This trend will provide ample opportunity for assessment and consideration at the Il Salone dell'Arredobagno/Bathroom Fittings Show set up by Fiera Milano International, which is to be held at Fiera Milano from 2 to 6 March 2004, as part of the 34th edition of Mostra Convegno Expocomfort.
As an impetus for new ideas and solutions, the Bathroom Fittings Show and the independent 'e-zine', Designboom.com, are launching an international on-line competition 'Inside the bathroom'. The initiative targets young designers and architects from all over the world and aims to collect ideas and designs to give new shape and form to the new bathroom concept. Designs for submission should be based on three main themes: Whirlpool baths and multifunction showers; Taps and fittings; Sanitaryware.
Designs will be adjudicated by a jury made up of Elio Fiorucci, Oliviero Toscani, Luca Trazzi, Birgit Lohmann, Carlo Bassi, Giovanna Talocci and Ugo Volli. The entries will be assessed for technological and design features with special focus on the functional aspects of traditional bathroom.
The jury will select four of the designs sent in which will be awarded cash prizes. The choice project will be awarded a prize of 5,000 Euros, whilst the other 3 finalists will receive honourable mentions and 1,000 Euros. All works submitted will be used to create a gallery of suggestions and solutions that designboom.com will host in its on-line magazine www.designboom.com as well as an Exhibition to be housed within the Bathroom Fittings Show. The competition is an opportunity for companies operating in the sector to select designs and ideas of a viable and innovative nature that could make them suitable for product development.
To take part in the competition, just register before 30 September 2003. Participation conditions are listed on the http://www.designboom.com website.
