Now, about the jury who will meet for this event, they are made up of design professionals chaired by Big Game. Founded by three men, they are a Swiss design studio and their design stands out for its functionality, its simple shapes, and its unexpected details. Despite this minimalist approach, this creative trio manages to give a highly distinctive character to the objects they create.
“It is a great honor for us to chair the Rado Star Prize 2018 – We were very pleasantly surprised by both the diversity of the proposals and their quality. The theme of this year’s “Nature Inspired Design” shows how much it is returning to the center of our concerns and remains one of the most inspiring sources of inspiration.”
