Participation guidelines

Themes to choose from:

design for
sustainability:

01

We are consuming products every day. Most of them have a big impact on resources, and the environment. How can we think of making them more sustainable by enhancing their resource consumption, durability, recyclability, logistic, packaging, or upgradability?

Design a product for tomorrow keeping all this in mind.

design as
digital
experience:

02

The world is turning digital, people are doing everything on their mobile devices.

Design a system, an app, or an interface that helps humankind to use technology and enhance the experience of users.

design the
new mobility

03

You have noticed that moving in cities is evolving -shared bicycles and scooters, Yulu and Bounce, Ola and Uber, electric autonomous cars, more and more common transportation, all this is the beginning of a very interesting evolution in urban mobility.

Think and design on what should come next for us in the coming 5 years.

co-sharing

04

The new generation is less interested in “owning things”, they are more interested in using things when they need them. Rental and pay and use systems are blooming in all domains: cars, bikes, scooters, even insurances and houses, power tools, and house equipment.

This will help in decreasing the number of products built, transported and sold, and then used less than 40% of the time and stored somewhere, wasting valuable space inside or outside households.

Invent and design a sharing system in the domain that helps people to do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done without the need of owning an under-used object.

space and
furniture design
for social
distancing:

05

Social distancing is the new normal, but it is evolving the way we use spaces at home, in workshops, common transports, or in offices.

Design a solution (space management, furniture product, or system) that helps to live more easily with the social distancing constraints.

Keep in mind human relationships, space efficiency (cost and limitation), and personal well-being.

Other topics:

If you find that there is another important challenge(s) that needs to be addressed to help mankind and/or our planet, please do not hesitate to be bold to present us a solution that would be: simple, just, and beautiful.
