Tupperware Takes the Art World by Storm with Second Global Design Contest

The winners of the 2006 Translations in Tupperware Global Design Contest were announced Wednesday, October 25 at Time Warner Center in New York City.

Entries from Greece, France, India and the Philippines took top prizes and are the centerpieces of a global exhibit that features more than 20 pieces of artwork inspired by Tupperware products, including a delicately designed chess board, a working clock and life-size lounge chair.

The free exhibit is now open to the public each day at Time Warner Center from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., through Saturday, October 28.

The four winning pieces were selected by a panel of high-profile influencers and taste makers from the design industry including renowned architect, David Rockwell and Carl Magnusson, former Director of Design, for Knoll Inc.

Winners were announced by Rick Goings, Chairman and CEO of Tupperware Brands Corporation.

"We commend all of the finalists on their amazing skill and unique vision that went into creating these extraordinary pieces of Tupperware-inspired art," said Mr. Goings.

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