Another winner announcement that marks the end of a very interesting contest sponsored by Chicco for the research of an innovative system to help parents and babies get on well together at home for their relax. R-Evolutionary baby design received 103 entries by 97 participants, a very good number given the great complexity of the brief.

On the whole, many were the great ideas developed for the contest. It is so much so that this contest brings with it some unexpected pleasant news


But first let’s pay tribute to the idea that made it into the final pick of the Chicco panel.


The Winner

HUG-SYSTEM

With respect to other projects, HUG SYSTEM appears to be a very extensive and comprehensive project, which is really coherent with the brief looking for multi-functional and evolutionary projects. It is clear that behind the idea lies an extensive and thorough research on the mothers’ needs. Also it is consistent with the Chicco brand and with the INDOOR category for which we had decided to research innovative solutions. – Chicco Team

HUG-SYSTEM_winner_666x1000

HUG is an innovative multifunctional system for a daily routine at home that adapts to the specific activities of a baby and provides extensive mobility for the mother keeping her healthy during the baby care period.
HUG multi-system consist of the two objects: movable height adjustable HUGLER and light mobile HUGNEST. Together they help to reduce the number of baby liftings during the day and unload the mother’s back keeping her in good health.

Following the needs of a modern mother and her baby the HUG multi-system makes the motherhood easier and allows to enjoy many happy moments of the day.

Multifunctional
With a few transformations HUGLER easily adapts to different activities of a daily routine: cradle for daytime sleep, bouncer for active wake hours (0-9m) and high/ low chair for eating (over 9m). HUGNEST serves as a soft breathing mattress for HUGLER and becomes a carriage to move the baby easily from HUGLER to play yard or sofa/bed.

Mobile
Four 360o wheels and comfortable handle allow to easily move the HUGLER around home keeping the baby close to mother all day long.
HUGNEST give an aditional mobility at home thanks to its lightness and special support for newborn’s head.

Healthy
Modern gas strut height adjustable mechanism reduces load on the mother’s back.
Ergonomic shape and soft breathing fabrics of the HUGNEST make it comfortable for a baby to spend the day in the HUGLER.

Self-Care
Special cosmetic bag and a small mirror fixed on a HUGLER for a mother to have more time for self-care without leaving the baby alone. Mother can take care of her beauty while playing with the baby in the same time.

Well-being
With a new HUG system mother and her baby can enjoy their unique happy moments of the day always staying in contact and exploring the new experience in a relaxing atmosfere.

Long-lasting
