“Creations of Nature” – international competition for designers

"Break Away from the Floor" and take part in the fourth edition of the Creations of Nature contest organised by Barlinek Institute of Design.The competition is aimed at architects and designers, and at everyone for whom designing is just sheer pleasure. Creations from Nature is more than just a competition that ends the moment the results are announced, it is a comprehensive plan for collaboration between Barlinek and the designers.

In the fourth edition we have redefined the concept of a floor. We are breaking away from the floor and the clichéd thinking that boards are just floors, walls and ceilings. Do not limit your imagination to any particular plane. You are capable of more. Much more.

After the success of the third edition of the contest and the large number of entries received, this year we are extending our invitation to designers from Russia, Ukraine and Romania.

The formula of the competition remains unchanged, consisting of two stages. In the first, contestants present a general concept (including a moodboard illustrating the source of inspiration. They will show what guided them when creating the design, but they will also be able to present themselves in terms of the interior design process itself).

In the second stage, selected contestants will be invited to our factory in Barlinek for dedicated workshops, where experts from our company will oversee their projects as they acquire new skills. The result of this work will be the final design submitted to the contest.

The aim of the competition is to uncover the most talented, passionate and imaginative designers of the younger generation — those able to understand the market, and capable of putting their knowledge into practice in business. Alongside Barlinek representatives, the Jury includes authority figures from the fields of architecture and design — the chairman Przemo Łukasik (Medusa Group), Agnieszka Stefańska (Infinity-Design), Wojciech Trzcionka (Design Alive), Tomasz Błuszkowski (Forma Studio), and also Szymon Hanczar (Hanczar Studio).

The gala final of the competition and prize giving ceremony will take place in October during this year's Łódź Design Festival.

The deadline for submitting work is 31 May 2017.
