The Salão Design Award, the major product design award in Latin America, will exhibit the award winners of the 22nd competition at High Design – Home&Office Expo, from Aug 28-30 at São Paulo Expo. In addition to the product exhibition, the award booth will offer a varied program. This year’s competition awarded were 12 cash prizes, three honorable mentions, an Alternative Woods Award and a Master Teacher Trophy.
Taking into account requirements such as originality, form and function, ergonomics, finishing, safety and sustainability, the Salão Design Award recognizes the talent of students, professionals and manufacturing companies at an international level. In 2018, the award winners were from Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
This contest featured a broad range of typologies, including multiuse pieces for several different applications in living spaces: from armchairs to cutlery and even portable veranda furniture. The judging panel consisted of designers Brunno Jahara, Bruno Faucz, Leticia Grisa, Nicole Tomazi and Salvatore Figliuzzi.
