Less Than One Week Left To Enter The Italian Way Design Award That Will Take Place In Dubai

Regional creatives, take note. The third iteration of The Italian Way Design Award is soon to take place in Dubai and it’s time to make your entries. The idea behind the initiative is to urge designers to create an original and functional piece of furniture, which is inspired by Italian traditions and design sensibilities. The brief? To design a product that can be used in a rooftop hospitality setting and enhances the viewers’ visual experience.

Running in partnership with architect Andrea Morgante and design mavens WOOD-SKIN, the competition will offer the winner a cash prize worth $5,000 and the chance to do a full-scale prototype of the design. Commercial viability and creativity are among the criteria for you to bag the top honor. You’ll be judged on a three-pronged basis; aesthetics, rooftop hospitality and innovation.
