THE 1ST PLACE went to Finnish designer Tuomas Auvinen, from Lahti University of Applied Sciences, for his 45° lamp. The shape of 45° allows it to hang from the ceiling, lie on the floor or be placed in the corner where the ceiling and the wall meet, which gives it a multi-functionality that is hard to compete with. 45° is capable of exploiting the spaces that are somewhat used less, and more than other interiors it almost becomes part of the room or building, which creates a certain magic.
THE 2ND PLACE went to the two designers Anna van der Lei and Laura Timosaari from Aalto University, School of Arts, for their Cappuccino set, consisting of a cappuccino cup inspired by the Finnish wooden Kuksa mug and a milk foamer with an elegant large spout. Cappuccino has been awarded the second place as it nicely combines aesthetics and functionality in uncomplicated coffee making for every coffee lover.
THE 3RD PLACE went to the Norwegian designer Martin Ramstad Rygner from Oslo National Academy of The Arts, for his Please Hold coffee table. Please Hold has an incorporated graphic element and a strong personality that is marked by the two reversed table trestles. A simple yet clever idea.
