Design against war – Meet the winners

When got in touch with Emergency NGO and SOS design for this project, we were very excited about the theme and the fact that we could all take active part in advocating the use of design for good, truly contributing to improving people’s life.

Indeed, Design against war has proved a great experiment collecting 152 proposals from around the world, shared by students, young designers, architects as well as by design studios and collaborative groups. Participation was truly rich in variety and diversity, providing a very broad perspective on such a delicate and sensitive theme.

Surely key to its success was also the different pool of project categories allowed in the brief, each addressing potentially a different type of creative, that is Spaces, Products and Services. This also contributed to the number of participants involved, 135 in total, coming from 27 different countries in the world, with Italy, Mexico, Ecuador, India and Taiwan in the top 5 positions.

The project supported by ADI Associazione per il disegno industriale, relied on the judgment of an international panel that included:

Stefano Boeri – Triennale Milano (President)
Angela Fittipaldi – EMERGENCY Ong Onlus (Graphic Design Manager)
Luciano Galimberti – ADI Associazione per il disegno industriale (President)
Simonetta Gola – EMERGENCY Ong Onlus (Communication Manager)
Raul Pantaleo – TAM Associati (Associate)
Massimo Bruto Randone – SOSDesign (Founder)
Davide Scomparin – Desall (Founder and CEO)
Francesco Zurlo – Scuola di Design, Politecnico di Milano (Deputy Head)
José Allard – School of Design, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile – Director (Cumulus Board Member)

A special thanks goes to 3Dconnexion and Elmec 3D.

Today we are very glad to announce the results of the competition, that will all be displayed during the exhibition at the Casa di Emergency in Milan, scheduled for October 3rd – 13th.
