Premio Lissone Design 2008: International Design Competition

The Local Council of Lissone are promoting a new edition of the Premio Lissone Design that is focused on lighting design.

This award initiative follows the widely-acclaimed and very successful first edition of the Premio Lissone Design, whose theme was playing design and the children's sector, that received 238 qualified applications from 22 countries.

The award is targeted to the generation of new product concepts with precise reference to the lighting market, i.e. the broad range of innovative applications in interior design, furniture accessories and outdoor lighting equipment.

The main goal of the award is to bridge the gap between young designers and furniture manufacturers, lighting equipment makers, interior decorators and city planners.

The broader aim of the event is to involve the local manufacturing industry and market makers, in their role as supporters for research and innovation.

Considerable emphasis is given to the implementation of new lighting technologies and innovative lighting energy sources.

The award is open to university students (schools of Industrial Design, Architecture and Engineering), to students from Design technical schools, as well as to professional designers, artists and architects with no restriction on nationality.
