Teenage Furniture Design Competition

designboom has a really interesting international design competition going on I found and wanted to share; I think I’m going to enter. The subject of the competition is “teenage furniture”, and they’re looking for designs that are multifunctional to fill the gap between teenagers and furniture. I didn’t know there was a gap; when I was a teenager not long ago I liked Charles Eames just as much then as I do now; but anyways. They say adolescent essence is of pop and rock, music videos and I pods, fashion, arts, film dvds, on-line chats, instant messaging, hanging out with friends… we are seeking design ideas for furniture for the places where teenagers study, relax and socialize. we are in pursuit of designs which compliment and sum up contemporary living and technology. Furniture that is multifunctional yet personal. First prize is €3000, ooooh yeah. Get out your 3D modeling programs, your pen, pad, and get to work! More info here.
