Private Eye Design Ideas
5th HI-MACS® Design Contest This year’s HI-MACS® Design Contest is focused on Urban Furniture. Of the five hundred projects, a selection was made based on specific selection criteria: usability, commercial marketability, creativity, aesthetics, innovation and of course the use of HI-MACS® properties. Four top projects were selected from each category, professional and student, bringing the total to 8 finalists for the 2011 contest. The 8 finalists will be exhibited at a dedicated HI-MACS® stand at the 100% Design show - being held in London from 22 to 25 September 2011. [W himacs.eu]

[E-Moke] Designer Daniel Abendroth - Stuttgart, Germany (Category Professional) Image 01, 02
Daniel’s project stemmed from a desire to provide a cleaner, more energy efficient world. These original static bike-like objects will be placed in public areas allowing people to recharge their mobile devices at any time. The front has a USB connector where a mobile device can be plugged in and it will charge as you cycle. Daniel studied Design at State Academy in Stuttgart and Economy at Reutligen University and is now based in Stuttgart, Germany with his own company Inogram. He is focused in new technologies and new materials to create more sustainable products. [W inogram.de] [S Urban bench] Designer Verónica Martinez - Madrid, Spain (Category Professional) Image 03, 04
Verónica was inspired by the shapes found in the world around her, such as storm clouds or a double helix of DNA when creating her design. The S curve provides an aesthetically pleasing bench that can hold a number of people at once. This practical design can be placed both outdoors in parks or on streets and indoors in airports or hotels. Verónica has her BA in Interior Design from the Escola de Disseny i Art Eina and a BA in Fine Arts specializing in Product and Graphic design. She has worked in Barcelona and England as a freelance designer and has now moved back to Madrid where she opened a new studio. [W veromartinez.com]
