The organizers of the 22nd Salão Design award are proud to announce the list of the award winners, marking the 30th anniversary of the project carried out by Sindmóveis Bento Gonçalves. A total of 12 cash prizes will be given to Students, Professionals and Industry\/Retail, besides three honorable mentions, one Alternative Woods Award and one Master Teacher Trophy. This event, when the traditional categories were replaced by the first, second and third places, showed typologies of products with new possibilities of use and pieces with different applications within living spaces. The winners are projects by designers from Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay<\/p>\n
The Salão Design Award is the most representative product design award in Latin America having received 14,213 thousand entries along its history. The director of Salão Design, Eduardo Nuncio, points out that the idea evolved at a crucial moment for the national furniture industry in 1988 – when the country faced an economic crisis and there was a demand for competitive advantages to resume the consumption of furniture. "In these 30 years, we have created a genuine exchange environment between competitors, the organizers and the judging panel. Many of the leading names in Brazilian design today were revealed due to the award, which has broadened its scope in Latin America," he says.<\/p>\n
The 2018 award judging panel consists of designers Brunno Jahara, Bruno Faucz, Letícia Grisa, Nicole Tomazi in addition to Salvatore Figliuzzi from Germany. For Brunno Jahara, the group of winners presents a certain unity of concepts, with pieces that show an improvement in the understanding of the market and its trends. "I always encourage students, professionals and designers to enter the competition with their pieces, because it is a good way to improve their production quality, recognizing the real value of a good project," he points out.<\/p>\n
In addition to cash prizes and honorable mentions, the Salão Design Award recognizes the work of design professors who supervise their students by giving the Mater Teacher Trophy – this year awarded to Professor Gabriel Deber, from the University School of Design, Montevideo, for the Mesa Quebrada project, by the student Agustín dos Santos Farias. Another special category is the Alternative Woods Award, promoted in partnership with the Brazilian Forest Service, which awards the best piece of the edition made from wood considered not widely used by the timber industry. As an award for Penteadeira Nena, the Em2 Design studio based in Rio de Janeiro will be given an expedition to the Forest Products Laboratory in Brasilia and sustainable forest management areas in Rondônia.<\/p>\n
Sponsored by Berneck and Interprint, the competition changed its award dynamics this year. Instead of the traditional categories such as furniture for living rooms and home accessories, each class (Student, Professional and Industry \/ Retail) will have first, second and third places, in addition to the three super-awards for the best products of the competition, regardless of their class. The placement of the winners, however, will be a surprise that will be disclosed only in March, during Movelsul Brasil 2018 – when the award ceremony and product show will take place, from March 12 – 15, at Parque de Eventos in Bento Gonçalves. In August, the award winning products will be exhibited during the DW! São Paulo Design Weekend, at High Design – Home & Office Expo.<\/p>\n
