Umbra’s YOU Design kicked off a very hip contest at the 2010 ICFF and is in full swing until June 30th.
Check out the one-of-a-kind OH Chair by Ani Castillo and other terrific ideas for using Umbra products creatively — just a few of the latest submissions, the most outrageous and the top winners to date that you can view at youdesignumbra.com and enter at youdesignumbra.com/contest.
The cool factor — $5000 shopping spree/Umbra products + airfare/accommodations to the gala 30th anniversary event in NYC. Top 10 finalists will receive additional prizes will be awarded during the celebration.
This is an opportunity to turn common house hold/ware products created and designed by Umbra and interpret — create an art piece or installation. With 40 days to use the left side of your brain — designing with objects should motivate all design professionals in the zone, especially product and industrial designers.
I am entering a funky light for starters. My favorite challenge — make uncommon from everyday stuff, this round Umbra’s.
