This year's winners of the Amberif Design Award have been announced. The competition's theme for the year was 'Periphery', a brief chosen to send entrants to take a closer look at the zone between set and free. An overwhelming number of 124 international artists from 25 countries travelled to this undefined area and explored its options and limits. By sending in a design or photo, they presented to the competition's jury their inspiration, road map or point of view.
To dig a little deeper into the thematic theemes of the brief questions arose from entrant's submissions: What can happen when the rules break up? Which new structures will artists offer when nothing seems defined? The renowned international expert jury followed the ideas, perspectives and pathways int heir selection of winners for the competition. Some cornerstones presented an overwhelming and unseen panorama and were awarded with a prize or a recognition explained the competition's Curator, Barbara Schmidt.
