The theme of the 21st Interieur Design Competition is Designs for a new world

INTERIEUR 2010 proudly presents the 21st edition of its international Design Competition.

The theme of the 21st Interieur Design Competition is: Designs for a new world.

The world is changing fast. We are living in turbulent, uncertain times. The music industry, the automobile sector and the press are struggling. Pop culture seems to have lost

its momentum. We spend more time online than in our living homes. How can design cope with the new world?

Should design be sustainable? Should it be virtual? Should design make us think? Or should it make us feel good? In short: design a product that is relevant right now.

Interieur was launched in 1968 as Europe's first International Design Biennale, with a focus on product development and creative innovation. The Interieur Foundation's not-for-profit status allows for the event to focus on an ambitious programme of side events, including exhibitions, a reputed International Design Competition, debates and lectures.

Interieur's guests of honour have included Raymond Loewy, Gio Ponti, Philippe Starck, Alessandro Mendini, Dieter Rams, Andrea Branzi, Jasper Morrison, Rolf Fehlbaum, Konstantin Grcic, Alfredo Häberli, and, in 2008, Jaime Hayon.
