Tupperware Brands Honors Global Design Gurus

The winners of the first-ever Translations in Tupperware global design contest were announced yesterday at MILK Gallery in New York City.

Entries from the United States, Greece, Brazil, and Indonesia took top prizes and form the centerpiece of an exhibit that features more than 30 pieces of Tupperware- inspired artwork, from delicately designed purses and dresses, to seven-foot high Indian Gods and panoramic city landscapes.

The exhibit is now open to the public each day from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., admission free, until December 11, before heading on a global tour in early 2006.

The four winning pieces were selected from more than 1,000 worldwide entries by a panel of influencers and taste makers from the design media and industry, and were announced by Rick Goings, Chairman and CEO of Tupperware Brands Corporation.

"We commend all the finalists on their amazing skill and the unique vision that went into creating these pieces of Tupperware-inspire d art.

This exhibit perfectly reflects the Tupperware philosophy of creating products that are not only practical and functional, but that are beautifully designed."

Tony Meredith from San Francisco was named the US winner, with a beautifully lit and shot photograph entitled Tupper Rose Window which uses multi-colored and multi-textured, vintage and contemporary Tupperware
