raumplus Space PLUS is an international competition IP jointly created by European high-end home furnishing brand raumplus and international design competition platform Young Bird Plan. “raumplus Space PLUS” aims to add design, function and other details to the family space, thus paying tribute to life; this competition will collect systematic furniture design works from the whole industry and the whole society.
A jury will be composed of experts in the design field and representatives from various parties, to select forward-looking, systematic and diversified high-quality design solutions. The focus is on the application of products in the space, which can rejuvenate the infinite possibilities of each living space and enhance the sense of life happiness.
Proposition
In the past, we’ve been immersed in catching up with the “fast era”, regardless of whether it is really suitable for us, and our lives are full of products of “fast food culture”. However, since last year, we have been forced to press the pause button. During the slowdown, people begin to rethink what is really needed. According to the survey, 90% of families think their home space is not satisfactory, because home and family space are no longer just shelters from wind and rain. We hope there’ll be more beautiful memories and wonderful life moments in the limited home space.
Competition Goals
The competition is jointly initiated by the European high-end home customization brand raumplus and the international design competition platform Young Bird Plan. By making systematic product design for three types of home living spaces (bedroom, living room, study), the competition aims to break the inherent lifestyle, add highlights to daily life, and enrich the furniture product system, so as to activate various spaces in the family, create more life possibilities, and enhance happiness in ordinary life, simultaneously passing the brand core concept —— “Make Life Exciting” .
raumplus is a Germany brand, inheriting German precision manufacturing and simple aesthetics, following the simple and practical Bauhaus design concept in home design, advocating the minimalist style of “less is more”.
The minimalist lifestyle advocated by the brand is not to pursue visual impact and gain people’s attention, but to emphasize the life attitude and life needs ofthe space owner, to attach importance on the comfort of self-living and respect the inner demands of users. Blindly relying on expanding space and purchasing more furniture is not the best solution. Therefore, we began to consider the application of furniture in various spaces and develop systematic furniture that could not only meet the functional needs of life, but also produce a sense of happiness in life.
