International Product Design Scholarships Competition, NABA, Italy

It is clear how models, habits and strategies that have sustained Design development over the last century have been slowly disappearing, exposing their weaknesses. For years, Design has supported the survival of traditional consumer behavior, through the creation of concepts of beauty, wellness, metropolis, architecture, interior and product design.

Design and manufacturing have been side by side since the very beginning. Through this alignment, design was able to accept manufacturing’s mission, mechanisms and values to achieve a problem-solving role without asking any questions on the paradigms of production, distribution and consumption.

However, questioning is the behavior that in topical historical moments was able to open up new ways of approaching the creation of man’s “home and things”. This competition aims to predict modern solutions to the incoming transformation of the product design industry. Projects that aim to envision possible futures based on the paradigms and values of new/different living spaces:

  • New manufacturing and production methods
  • Different approaches to using materials and energies
  • Rethinking the concepts of wellness and beauty
  • New ways of distributing, owning, accessing, consuming and using
  • A project able to show hints about paradigms and values of the future.

REQUIRED MATERIALS
Candidates are required to submit:

  • Max 5 A3 boards in PDF or TIFF files that fully represent your design idea;
  • An abstract of the project: max 1 page;
  • Personal portfolio of works and projects;
  • Detailed curriculum vitae;
  • Motivation statement;
  • Copy of Bachelor Degree/Academic diploma translated into English/Italian;;
