About
↓

There is an increasing attention to the definition of the "character" of places for public spaces. The added value which Italian design has been able to develop within home spaces is now focalizing on places in which to develop group activities ranging from dining and hospitality facilities to public areas for leisure and for work.

A large sector where design could help develop and improve our relation with objects and tools.

The aim of the Furniture Design Competition is the enhancement of contemporary art furniture in relation to the Morelato production.

Fondation suggests to direct the project towards objects that valorize woodwork and natural materials. The project should be part of a reflection on the current trends and act as a response to the identified new requirements regarding public spaces as an innovative solution to offer to the market and not only as a stylistic exercise.

It is possible to participate as a group with a project developed by more than one person.

The awarding ceremony will take place during the Abitare il Tempo fair in Verona at Villa Dionisi with a gala evening dedicated to the Outlook on Applied Art of the Aldo Morelato Foundation, in which the selected projects will be exhibited together with the prototype of the winning project.

In order to participate a sum of 60,00 Euros must be transferred when applying.
In case the participant is still a student, the registration fee is 30,00 Euros.
The participation fee for group projects is the same as for projects developed by a single designer. Also for group participations it is possible to pay a reduced fee for students.
