Red Dot Award: Design Concept 2014 Is Now Open

Takashi Yamada has been a jury member of the red dot award: design concept for the past two years. As a person who has seen the inside of how it all works, trust me this is one competition you do not want to miss. Name, fame, recognition and instant key to the doors of opportunities are some of the many perks. I love Tak’s interview that they captured, which can be seen after the jump; incase you are wondering, the backdrop is of the permanent Tupperware exhibition at the red dot museum in Singapore.

The search for the best visions, prototypes and concepts of 2014 has begun Red Dot Award: Design Concept 2014. Calling on design teams, designers, inventors, students, teachers, research institutes, design departments, architects, engineers, any one with a great design idea to take notice.

Calendario Coppi 2014

Esce in questi giorni il calendario per l’anno 2014 dedicato a Fausto Coppi, forse il più amato e popolare sportivo italiano di tutti i tempi. Lui era originario di Castellania, un paesino vicino a Novi Ligure che è anche patria dei curatori di questo progetto: lo studio di marketing e comunicazione FARGO® e PICAME. Il layout è stato completamente aggiornato mentre foto e articoli inediti verranno accompagnati da 13 illustrazioni ad opera del giovane talento italiano Joey Guidone. L’intero progetto editoriale è stato ideato dai figli del Campionissimo, Marina e Fausto Angelo per sostenere l’Associazione Onlus Enrico Cucchi di Tortona, attiva nell’assistenza dei malati bisognosi di cure palliative.

Il Calendario Coppi 2014 lo trovate:
– sul sito calendariocoppi.it
– dal 21 al 30 Novembre 2013 presso il FAUSTO COPPI TEMPORARY STORE in Via Girardengo 1, Piazza delle Piane a Novi Ligure (AL)
– sabato 7 Dicembre 2013 al termine della conferenza stampa presso il Museo dei Campionissimi in Viale dei Campionissimi 2 a Novi Ligure (AL)
– Giovedì 2 Gennaio 2013 alla Fiera di Castellania, Castellania (AL)

50 Free Registrations to Red Dot Award: Product Design 2014!

The Early Bird entries for the 2014 Red Dot Awards: Product Design is now open until 6 December 2013. However this editorial is to inform you more about the 50 Free Registrations made available to young designers. The so-called “Red Dot Young Professionals Application Day” is round the bend and if you think you are ready to be the “king (or queen) of the world”, then earmark the 11th of December 2013. On this date, career-starters have 24 hours to apply for one out of 50 free registrations.

In a bid to support product designers who are still finding their feet, the “Red Dot Young Professionals Application Day” was born. Last year, designers from 30 countries grabbed their chance and applied for the 50 free registrations within 24 hours and nine of them convinced the jury with the design quality of their products.

Bernhard Elsaesser goes down in the Hall of Fame for being the second young professional in the history of the Red Dot to win the highest award in the competition: Red Dot: Best of the Best for the vase “The attitude of the definite – the square”. Sounds exciting!

To sum it up, you not only get a free entry, but also the chance of winning the highest honor!

Designers who have obtained their academic qualifications within the past five years, have 24 hours to apply via the Red Dot website for one of the free registrations. The participants of the promotion will be drawn randomly.

Important Dates:

  • Early Bird: 6 December 2013
  • Regular: 28 January 2014
  • Latecomers: 5 February 2014

Young Professionals Application Day
