Andreu World International Design Contest 2017

 

Deadline: November 24, 2017

Andreu World launches its 17th annual International furniture Design Contest and opens registration for 2017. The competition is open to both design students and to professionals, with no age limit. Participants are invited to submit new designs for a wooden chair and/or table. The following requirements from the competition briefing are relevant:

• Seating: The main material used shall be Beech wood, Oak wood or Walnut. Chairs may be upholstered to a greater or lesser extent, if considered appropriate and veneered board or plywood;

Andreu World has grown and evolved convinced that their philosophy, attention to detail, excellence and good design, is the fundamental guide to continue being who they are now and in the future. At the core of Andreu Wood is wood, there is no other material as unique, warm and noble. Woodworking is a philosophy unto itself, it is a way of relating to the world. Over time they have sought to maintain these qualities in all of their designs, regardless of the materials and technology employed.
