VELUX International Design Award 2014, based on the wish to discover the best and most innovative blinds of the future. It seeks to challenge the way we work with product development, and encourages students to share their dreams and rethink future blind solutions.
The design award challenges students to push back boundaries and develop window coverings for the roof window that represent much more than a functional transition between inside and outside. It rewards students who dare to develop design solutions that will make a real difference in the quality of people’s lives.
The design award is not aimed at a specific discipline of design students but encourages projects of high excellence, developed from a solid foundation of creativity, intelligence, quality and personality.
It is optional for students to register either individually or as a team. Multidisciplinary teams, which combine several design approaches, are also encouraged to participate in the contest.
The VELUX International Design Award 2014 is a unique opportunity for design students to take part in the progress of the VELUX Group’s innovative approach to product development – most recently expressed through the collaboration with the world-famous designer, Karim Rashid. Now The Group wishes to challenge design students and gain new perspectives on product development from the trendsetters of tomorrow.
