This year’s Hi-Macs® Design Contest focused on Urban Furniture, and received over 500 projects in the two categories - Professional and Student – from the most mind-boggling to fabulous avant-garde ideas. Once again, creativity and audacity came together to challenge traditional designs. Participants have given the best of themselves thanks to their talents and the infinite possibilities offered by Hi-Macs® to propose new ways to “dress” our cities.
Of the five hundred projects, a selection was made based specific selection criteria: usability, commercial marketability, creativity, aesthetics, innovation and of course the use of Hi-Macs® properties. 4 top projects were selected from each category bringing a total of 8 finalists for the 2011 contest. The eight finalists will be exhibited on a dedicated Hi-Macs® stand at the 100% Design show - being held in London from 22 to 25 September 2011. The 100% Design show - attracting thousands of professional architects and designers from all over the world - will provide a showcase for the projects, which will be fabricated and displayed in full size to the visitors.
The winner for each category will be selected by a jury of renowned designers and architects during the show, and will be announced on a dedicated ceremony.
