作業経験が乏しい学生にとって、このテーマは難しかったようだ。趣旨に沿った作品は少なかったうえ、たとえ沿っていても、すでに商品化されていると予測されているものもあった。「仕事」、「作業」というイメージにとらわれて、皮肉にも、例年多く見られるような、創造力にあふれた幻想的な作品は少なかった。その中で満場一致で金賞に選ばれたのは、デスクワーク用のライト「Flextable」。シンプルながら美しく完結したデザインは、民族をこえた普遍性があると賞賛された。 |

It seemed that theme“ Working Light” was dicult for students who have limited experience in the workplace. Only a few of the works were found to be appropriately consistent with the theme, and in addition, some of the designs, even if they were regarded as consistent with the theme, aroused suspicions that such a design may already be available on the commercial market. It was ironic that the theme this year, which tender to be accompanied by such images as“ job” or“ work”, failed to produce many fantastic designers which were full of creativity, unlike in past years. Under such circumstance, judges chose unanimously“ Flextable” as the Gold Award winner, which was a desk light designed for working. It won high acclaim for its simple yet beautifully completed design, with a kind of universality which can be understood by persons of any nationality. |
