The winners of the 2011 HI-MACS® Design competition organized by LG Hausys Europe have been announced at a ceremony during the 100% Design show in London. The eight finalists in the two categories – professional and student – were all at the exhibition, where their designs – fabricated in real size by Global Vacuum Presses and VF Superficies Sólidas - were all on show.
The international jury was composed by Jonathan Clarke and John Nordon from the studio Woods Bagot (UK), Bruno Fattorini ( Bruno Fattorini and Partners, Italy), Clivia Bauer (Innerarchitektur + Design, Germany), Jules Mesny-Deschamps (Studio Jules Mesny-Deschamps, France) and the Chief Editor of Designer Magazine Martin Allen-Smith (UK).
The winner in the professional category was the E-Moke, while the Naked Lamp was the winner in the student category.
“E-Moke” by Daniel Abendroth, Stuttgart, Germany (Professional).
A static bike-like object for public places for people to sit and relax on while gently pedalling to re-charge mobile devices.
“Naked Lamp” by Mario Fuentes, Barcelona, Spain (Student).
A single form street lamp designed to bring both colour and light to town or city streets – it demonstrates high aesthetic and practical values.
The competition was conceived to allow entrants to exploit the extraordinary versatility of HI-MACS® – using its durability, formability and ease of visibly seamless joining to create any three-dimensional shape desired. The non-porous and light-fast qualities of HI-MACS® also make it uniquely applicable for outdoor applications.
