04 - design criteria
'simplicity is an essential quality of good design.
and it is one of the most complicated things in life,
because you have to take away, take away...
it is the start from a precise executive and functional concept,
and the designer should be able to explain over the phone
why his object is designed in a certain way and how it ought
to be made - so simple that it endows the object with a
distinctive character.'
vico magistretti

please don't send in vague concepts, but go a step further.
as DEPADOVA might wish to produce some of the most interesting projects,
please consider the feasibility of manufacturing.
the jury will award designs and concepts which are innovative in terms of
their formal aspects as well as their functional ones.
projects should not be currently in production !
