Style

Furthermore, the devised product should be characterized by a lack of sharp edges. If your design is related to higher-level components, it is sufficient to describe the latter in a schematic way.
Colors & finishes
The designed product or equipment should come in natural aluminium or black matte finishing. The use of reflective surfaces should be avoided.
Context of use
The designed product or equipment should be destined for both indoor and outdoor use. Professional users should be the primary target of the proposed product.
Technology and materials
The designed product or equipment should be designed for industrial production and allow for mounting/dismounting without the requirement of specific tools, as well as for transportation by means of standard trucks.
All structural components must be made of non-combustible materials. Apart from this there are no restrictions on the choice of materials.
Deliverables
To best present their work, designers should submit the following materials: realistic renderings, 3D models and/or professional sketches.
