RADO STAR PRIZE CANADA 2019

In the first year of the Canadian edition of the Rado Star Prize the focus will be on the concept of “Design Inspired by Nature”- a theme that hopes to explore the influence nature can have on design. The Rado Star Prize, which is held internationally to promote the work of young designers, is another example of Rado’s continued collaboration with the world of DESIGN. This year for the forst time in collaboration with IDS.

DESIGN INSPIRED BY NATURE

Rado is looking for innovative ideas for using new materials paying tribute to the theme DESIGN INSPIRED BY NATURE. The materials, look or design of the object should be a tribute to functional design for daily use with materials, textures, with inspiration derived from nature.

IDS Toronto & Rado

Nine finalists and one winner of the Rado Star Prize Canada 2019 will be selected by a specialist jury comprising IDS participants, Rado and members of the canadian design community. The winner will receive $5,000 in prize money to fund the production of their design concept as well as a Rado True Thinline timepiece, and all finalists will have the opportunity to display their concepts at the IDS show in Toronto taking place in January 2019.
