Brussels, Belgium -  #lexus International today announced the 12 finalists for the #lexus #design Award2016. First launched in 2013 to foster the growth of ideas that can contribute to society, this international #design competition aims to support young up-and-coming creators from around the world.
 The fourth annual staging of the #lexus #design Award drew 1,232 entries from 73 countries under the theme “Anticipation”. A panel of world-renowned designers and creators gathered in November to judge the entries. This year, entrants impressed the judges by creating designs as yet unseen or undefined but likely to be realized in the near future. After extensive discussion and after noting the participants’ passion and willingness to explore the unpredictable, 12 finalist entries were selected for their potential contribution to #design innovation. The following four finalists will produce prototypes of their designs under the mentorship of globally recognized creators:

  • AGAR PLASTICITY, by AMAM (Japan), is a project exploring how agar, a gelatinous material obtained from the marine algae, can be used as an environmentally friendly packaging materials alternative to plastic.
  • DADA, by Myungsik Jang (Korea), is a block toy which can be freely combined using bands, holes, and pegs to create and realize each child’s imagination.
  •  Shape Shifters, by Angelena Laura Fenuta (Canada-based Italian designer), is a special cut of garment, applying modular principles to textiles, which allows creating different fashions outfits.
  • Trace, by STUDIO AYASKAN (UK-based Turkish designers), is a clock that uses a liquid with UV rays and discoloration properties allowing us to visualize the passing time.

 Architects and interdisciplinary designers Neri & Hu, along with designer #maxlamb will return as mentors, while designer/architect #elenamanferdini and artist/architect Snarkitecture join as the mentors for the first time. The four completed prototypes will be featured as part of the #lexus exhibition at this year's Milan #design Week, along with panel presentations of the other eight finalists’ designs. The #event will run from April 11th through April 17th at T32 Torneria/Carrozzeria, Via Tortona 32, 20144 (Zona Tortona). The Grand Prix winner of the #lexus #design Award 2016, selected from the four prototype finalists, is going to be announced on April 11th at the award ceremony. Further details on the #lexus space at the 2016 Milan #design Week will be announced in mid-February. More information and pictures can be found on:Lexus Europe newsroom: http://newsroom.lexus.euLexus #design Award website: www.lexusdesignaward.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lexusdesignaward/                  @lexusdesignaward Official hashtags:LexusDesignAward; MilanDesignWeek, LDAnticipate LEXUS #design AWARD 2016 ENTRIES SELECTED FOR PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT:

MENTOR PROFILES: Neri &Hu / Architects and Interdisciplinary DesignersLyndon Neri and Rossana Hu, cofounders of Neri & Hu #design and Research based in Shanghai, have been working on projects around the world which incorporate overlapping #design disciplines to create a new paradigm in architecture. In 2014, Wallpaper* announced Neri & Hu as 2014 Designer of The Year. In 2013, they were inducted into the U.S. Interior #design Hall of Fame. Neri & Hu believes strongly that research is a key #design tool as each project brings its own unique set of contextual issues. Providing architecture, interior, master planning, graphic and product #design services, Neri & Hu recognizes that contemporary problems relating to buildings extend beyond the boundaries of traditional architecture. Rather than starting from a formulaic #design, Neri & Hu’s work is anchored in the dynamic interaction of experience, detail, material, form and light. Max Lamb / DesignerA modern day artificer, #maxlamb is a product and furniture designer whose #design sensibility is informed by his extensive knowledge of manufacturing techniques, respect for materials, and skill as a maker. A native of Cornwall, Max has been tinkering with objects and engaging with the physical landscape since he was a small boy; a curiosity that led to an MA in #design Products at the Royal College of Art and subsequently the foundation of his workshop-based #design practice. Max explores both traditional and unconventional materials and processes, blending experimentation and rationale to create furniture and products that are both honest and intelligible. Max teaches #design Products at the Royal College of Art and runs regular #design workshops for companies and institutions around the world.  Elena Manferdini / Designer , ArchitectElena Manferdini, founder and owner of Atelier Manferdini, with offices in Italy and California, has completed #design, art and architectural projects in the United States, Europe and Asia including the Pavilion of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. Her firm has collaborated with such internationally renowned companies as Saworski, Sephora, and BMW and her work has been featured in journals and publications including Elle, Vogue and the New York Times. Currently Graduate Chair at the Southern California Institute of Architecture she exhibits internationally and lectures widely having spoken at MIT, Princeton, Tsinghua University and Bauhaus. She was recently awarded the 2013 COLA Fellowship to support the production of original artwork. In 2011 she received a prestigious annual grant from United States Artists (USA) and her Blossom #design for Alessi received the Good #design Award.  Snarkitecture / Artists and ArchitectsIn 2008 Daniel Arsham and Alex Mustonen founded Snarkitecture, a collaborative and experimental practice operating in territories between art and architecture. Sharing a mutual interest in the intersection of art and architecture since their student days together at Cooper Union in New York, their first commission was for Dior Homme. Deriving its name from Lewis Carroll's fanciful poem "The Hunting of the Snark", Snarkitecture designs permanent, architectural scale projects and functional objects with new and imaginative purposes, creating moments of wonder and interaction that allow people to engage directly with the surrounding environment. Transforming the familiar into the extraordinary, Snarkitecture makes architecture perform the unexpected.
