Bolia Design Award 2008
New Scandinavian Design
Scandinavian design is world famous for the simplicity, good function, natural raw materials and good craftsmanship, and the Danish furniture traditions are strong and highly respected.
However, the strong promotion of the traditional Scandinavian furniture classics can tend to prohibit the introduction of new talented designers and the general development of New Scandinavian Design.
At the same time, is Scandinavian design furniture most often fairly expensive and thereby only within reach for the few.
By initiating the Bolia Design Awards and awarding design innovation based on the Scandinavian furniture traditions combined with the aim to reach affordable prices, we wish to support new talented designers and thereby the development of the New Scandinavian Design.
The Bolia Design Awards is open for any corporate or private designer, who has a passion for furniture and a desire to be a part of the development of New Scandinavian Design.
The theme: New Scandinavian Design
The objective is to design a piece of furniture for living-, dining or bedroom. It must be a single product, i.e. a sofa, a swivel chair, a dining- or coffee table, a dining chair or a bed.
The design must complement and strengthen the Bolia Range of Bolia which is recognised by:
Innovation
Simplicity
Functionality
Quality
Affordable
The Bolia Design Awards:
Bolia will award the 2 best designs, as well as give the possibility for the designers to join the Bolia Design Team, on a free lance basis.
Bolia also give the opportunity for the awarded designs to be produced and sold in all Bolia.com stores, and internationally promoted through Bolia the catalogue, web site and PR measures.
