We have a winner! On Friday the 9th of February we announced the final verdict of the 8th Viefe Design Competition, which started in November and ended on the 31st of January, and which focused on the winner trying to create the TOP door stopper. Our objective was to find the participant who could design what for them would be a door stopper with a difference, not only because of its design and functionality, but also because of its materials and method of installation.
With all with over 180 entries received, choosing the winner has turned out to be a really difficult task as all the entries have been of a very high standard. So, many thanks to all those people who participated! The jury at Viefe -made up of members from our technical, commercial, design and marketing departments- has evaluated each entry taking into consideration criteria such as aesthetics, ergonomics, practicality and also suitability for manufacture.
The winning entry was…the Carom door stopper designed by Christof Spath from the German design studio So-Lo Studio. Congratulations to Christof for the excellent work he produced!
This particular design which stands out due to its simplicity and modernity and also for the minimalist geometrics which reinforce its functionality, will receive a prize of 1.000 €; the royalties derived from its potential sale and marketing (if that comes about); and also, the opportunity to form part of our team of collaborators. Many congratulations!
Amongst other things the jury has evaluated the design of the fixation system for the Carom door stopper, which is really well elaborated meaning it can be adjusted perfectly without any complications. As well as being easy to produce, it can also be made with different materials and finishes, to which Viefe would also add the possibility of it being made with sustainable materials. A modern and intelligent design, suitable for all types of interior design projects. Without doubt, it deserves the title of being the TOP door stopper.
Once more we would like to thank all those who participated, in particular their dedication to providing a high standard of entries amongst those we received. We hope to see you all at the next Viefe competition. Thanks to all of you for making this edition such a great success!
