Posted by Focus on Arts and Ecology on - -

With 10 days left to enter Dezeen Awards 2019 read on to find out what some of our judges will be looking for in this year’s entries...

"In favour of the community"

French designer Philippe Starck will be on the lookout for community-focused forward-thinking design.

"If you think it is your duty to put your talent to good use, in favour of the community. If you dream of being reputed, of knowing, of searching, of sharing, of building or deconstructing tomorrow," said Starck. "Then there is only one key: Dezeen Awards."

"Design that is not only beautiful, but also clever and breaks the mould"

Kelly Hoppen will be looking out for interior design projects that fulfil the three Dezeen Awards criteria: beautiful, innovative and beneficial.

"The top entrants should have a strong, unique aesthetic, and understand how to interpret and execute the vision of the client in their own way," said Hoppen.

"Products that might help to change the world"

MVRDV co-founder Winy Maas wants to see entries that have serious potential to impact the planet in a positive way.

"I hope that these awards lead to projects and products that might help to change the world, and to turn it in a good direction," said the Dutch architect.
