Manufacturing a Better World | Special Edition 70 Years
Andreu World, a global leader in sustainable design, invites designers to apply to its 24th annual International Design Contest. A special edition in celebration of the brand’s 70th anniversary, this year’s theme is ‘Manufacturing a Better World,’ aligning with the company’s belief that design must be part of the solution to today’s environmental challenges by driving a circular economy, fostering industry-wide collaboration, and using design as a force for positive impact.
The contest is an international showcase to support and promote new promises of design. Open to all ages of students and professionals in the areas of design, architecture and creation, Andreu World recognizes the best formula to build the future of design is to enhance new values and emerging international talent. The contest is aligned with the principles of the New European Bauhaus, the guidelines of the World Design Organization and the fundamental values of Andreu World.
