Because of the nature of the theme, which allows for a wide rabble of interpretations, it　seems to have puzzled entrants, which was probably the reason why two major contrastive　rays of light were seen in the award-winning designers this year: one was aimed at industrial　design, and the other was aimed at poetic expression“. BENJAMIN” , the Gold Award winning　design, represents the former ray of light. It was highly evaluated for its drastic　approach to the essence of light with its sharp, yet subtle structure, using cricket as a motif.
It was also heard from some of the judges that they want to see traditional aspects being　introduced to a lighting design such that the design reflects lighting culture pertaining to the　nation or region where the designer comes from.
