DOEN | Materiaalprijs 2012
Kick-off of the 4th edition |
Interior Architecture
Contest
The DOEN | Materiaalprijs introduces the designs of the future. Visual artists, designers, fashion designers and architects are challenged to use new sustainable materials and innovative techniques. The new designs will help to shape a better and more sustainable society.
The DOEN | Materiaalprijs awards two prizes. The first prize of € 15,000 for a finalized product and an incentive prize of € 5,000 for an idea that has not yet been put into production.
New materials are made available all the time. How can we apply them in such a way that useful and sustainable designs emerge? The DOEN | Materiaalprijs was created to promote the sustainable design practice in which the core values of innovation and sustainability go hand in hand with style and functionality. This annual prize intends to mobilise everyone at the cutting edge of art and design to devise new ways and means of designing for a sustainable future.
