Deadline: July 31, 2017
Submit entries for the Infiniti’s Green Factor Design Contest 2017. Infiniti this year is looking for an eco-friendly product that can help to increase the level of the products introduced in the last editions. Thanks to the Contest, they have had the opportunity to discover new talents and interesting projects, which have been later translated into products of their Collection. They like the idea of many young designers, from all around the world, working on a forward-thinking project with the intent to create a useful, functional and sustainable product. They love thinking about many minds all focused on a common idea, an idea of clever design with silent quality.
The theme of “sustainability” has become increasingly important, not only in industrial production, but also in everyday life. Through its own culture of design Infiniti is launching a challenge: the design of a couple of products made entirely from wood, eco-sustainable and 100% recyclable. chair + stool or armchair + table. Projects must minimise or possibly eliminate the use of alternative elements such as metalware, accessories or screws, and must minimise the waste of materials as well as space. The Contest aims to focus on objects which are not only recyclable, but which can also be optimised in terms of volume when disassembled, to minimise shipment bulk.
