The results are in for Lightouch's Design Competition 2007, which drew 939 submissions from 53 different countries.
The seven finalists from China, France, Italy, Korea, New Zealand and Singapore attended a three-day prototyping workshop at the National University of Singapore (NUS) under the mentorship of FLOS designer Mr. Joris Laarman. As part of the competition's last stage, the finalists were tasked to produce a final prototype of their winning ideas.
Grand winner Caitlyn Sara MacKenzie from New Zealand will receive a learning trip to the FLOS factory in Milan, on business class travel, sponsored by FLOS. The winning work entitled "1296" is created with 1296 incised cuts within a two dimensional plane creating an organic form, a delicate dance echoing through layers of contortion. "1296" was selected by FLOS for its manufacturability and good_market potential, the high quality of the prototype, and the designer's overall presentation.
Business class from New Zealand to the FLOS factory in Milan, not too shabby! Check out Caitlyn's design, and the other finalists', here.
