Hey Guys and Gals. Was just over at Core77 and saw this comp. Looks like it could be a bit of fun. Not too much lateral thinking requited. A good chance to brush the cobwebs of the sketch pad and perhaps learn SolidWorks like you've always wanted to. Also a good opportunity to think about 'Interaction Design'.
Here's the rundown:
3rd TAP Industrial Design Contest
Webert, with the support of the ADI, Associazione per il Disegno Industriale (association for the industrial design), organizes a contest for the design of an innovative single lever mixer or double control taps for bathroom and kitchen, which are technically feasable and can be industrially manufactured.
The projects will have to combine aesthetic values with functional values and create a shape for a serial industrial product, suitable to its practical function.
The sets of mixer taps must be composed of: a washbasin and a bath tub set including shower head; a kitchen sink mixer with swivel spout or with pull-out-spray.
The mixer tap must use a mixer cartridge. The two handles mixer tap must use 2 ceramic valves.
Participation is open to Italian or foreign professional designers such as architects or engineers, who are either self-employed or employed by companies if authorised by the latter.
Groups of designers are also allowed to participate, but a group leader must be appointed to have sole responsibility and act as contact person with Webert.
