Created to help designers of all disciplines gain visibility with potential clients around the world, the Faces of Design Awards are now in their second year of success and international acclaim. After celebrating student talent with the Faces of Design TALENT Awards in the summer of 2010, we were happy to welcome a greater number of professional participants to the Faces of Design Awards 2011: professional participation increased by 30% to 83% of the total; also, a total of three grants was awarded to young designers from developing economies. Indeed, once again, participants of the FoD Awards came from all around the globe. In particular, we managed to gain increased traction within the US. As Ignacio Ciocchini, one of this year's winners, puts it: »For designers based in
the US, it is not easy to gain visibility in the European and global markets. This awards program accomplishes that and much more.« In addition to the Faces of Design Awards, Faces of Design is gaining momentum in a range of complementary activities. After organising design workshops for a range of international clients for some time, we decided to launch our own educational branch, the Faces of Design Academy. After initially targeting mainly the design community, FoD is now helping non-designers and corporate clients gain an understanding of creative processes, to sharpen their competitive edge. The newly-founded Faces of Design Academy spotlights a range of different topics, from Open Design and Hybrid Thinking to Lean Development and Guerilla Marketing.
Held at exclusive locations and presented by leading thinkers and experts, the Faces of Design Academy helps companies and individuals alike develop new skills, placing them at the forefront of innovation and creative spirit. You can find additional information about our kick-off event on pages 68 to 71 of this publication. At the same time, our involvement in the international design scene has led to further cooperations with fantastic partners. We continue to support the well-known summer school programme at the Domaine de Boisbuchet in France, and 2010 saw the launch of a new B2B platform for museums around the world, MUSCON Sherp. We created MUSCON Sherp in close cooperation with the Vitra Design Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum London, the Netherland Architecture Institute Rotterdam, and the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich. You can find additional information in the article on page 79. Going forward, we aim to open the Faces of Design Awards themselves to cooperation partners, to enrich the participants' experience and to help our partners gain additional recognition for their contribution to international design. But now, do not let us keep you longer; we hope that you will enjoy browsing the work and profiles of the winners of the Faces of Design Awards 2011! If you have any feedback, comments or tips, you can always reach me at anna.rojahn@facesofdesign.com.

Cara McCarty began her tenure as Curatorial Director of Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution in 2007. In this role, McCarty directs the museum's curatorial vision, oversees its four curatorial departments, plans for collections management and acquisitions, and leads exhibition planning. A distinguished expert in the field of architecture, design and decorative arts, McCarty has served as a curator, lecturer and author for more than 25 years. Since 1992, McCarty was the curator and head of the department of decorative arts and design at the Saint Louis Art Museum, St. Louis, where she established the museum's 20th-and 21st-century design collection, while also strengthening holdings from the Renaissance to the present day; acquired more than 400 works for the collection; and organized major design exhibitions. McCarty was also actively involved in plans for the Saint Louis Art Museum's forthcoming expansion, designed by David Chipperfield. Recent exhibitions curated by McCarty include »National Design Triennial: Why Design Now?«, »Tata Nano: The People's Car«, »Currents 101: Patrick Jouin«, »Tadao Ando: Architect«,
»Structure and Surface: Contemporary Japanese Textiles« (co-curated with Matilda McQuaid), »Masks: Faces of Culture« and »Currents 69: Gaetano Pesce«. Prior to her tenure at the Saint Louis Art Museum, McCarty held several curatorial positions over a decade-long period in the department of architecture and design at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. At MoMA, McCarty conceived and curated numerous exhibitions and wrote the accompanying publications, including »Modern Masks and Helmets«, »Information Art: Diagramming Microchips«, »Designs for Independent Living« and »Mario Bellini: Designer«. McCarty has written several books and curated over 30 exhibitions during her career. She holds a bachelor's degree in art history from Stanford University, and did graduate studies in art history at Hunter College, New York. From 2004 to 2005, McCarty was a Loeb Fellow at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design, where she researched the role of museums in design education.
Roberto Feo and Rosario Hurtado are the Post Disciplinary studio EL ULTIMO GRITO. Founded in 1997, their studio is currently based in London and Berlin. El Ultimo Grito's work continuously researches our relationships with objects and culture, exploring them in a wide variety of projects for a broad mix of international clients, organizations and institutions such as Magis, Lavazza, Matadero Madrid (Sp), Marks & Spencer, Figueras, UNO, LABORAL, Museo Nacional de Arte Reina Sofia, British Airways, Claudio Buziol Foundation, the Sorrel Foundation, or the Victoria and Albert Museum. Their work is part of the permanent collections of museums such as the MoMA in New York, Stedlijk in Amsterdam, or the V&A in London. As part of their practice, they also find their contribution to education paramount. Both have been Senior Research Fellows at Kingston University since 2006, Roberto has been a lecturer at the Royal College of Art since 1999 and Rosario has been a lecturer at Goldsmiths University since 1999. In 2010, they were guest professors at the HfBK in Hamburg, and they are currently guest professors at the Haute Ecole d'Art et de Design Geneva.
British creative director Hugo Eccles has two decades of professional experience working with influential European, Asian, and American companies on projects ranging from furniture and interiors to consumer electronics and concept cars. Eccles studied at London's Royal College of Art under Pentagram's Daniel Weil and designer Ross Lovegrove, whom he later worked with on projects for Tag Heuer, Driade, Kartell and Alessi. Eccles joined the innovation consultancy IDEO in 1995 and won an IDEA Bronze Award for Design Exploration amongst others. After three years of working with IDEO and Ross Lovegrove, Eccles founded Baionik, a London-based design studio servicing an international clientele including Honda, Nike and the Ford Motor Company. In 2003 Eccles relocated to the United States to join Fitch Inc. as Director of Product Development, his team winning 9 awards in three years including an IDEA Gold, the consultancy's first in a decade. In 2007 Eccles was offered the position of Creative Director of Habitat, one of Europe's largest furniture retailers and a position previously held by design superstar Tom Dixon, but chose instead to lead the
Arnell Group's Innovation Lab in New York, working with Fortune 500 clients including The Home Depot and Johnson & Johnson. In 2009 Eccles returned to London as MD & Creative Director of Studio Conran, the product, packaging and branding agency and part of Sir Terence Conran's design empire which includes retail, hospitality and publishing. Eccles currently runs hugoeccles 速, an Anglo-American design office providing specialist design services to clients in London and New York.

Pio Barone Lumaga is a cultural entrepreneur – a resourceful visionary, mobilizing ingenuity and creativity to ensure the sustainability of cultural and social enterprises. Since 2007, he has been the Editorin-chief of LOFT The Nordic BOOKAZINE, which he co-founded. A quarterly editorial event with Nordic roots and an international heart, LOFT explores the creative nurturing boundaries in Art, Architecture, and Design, between the Nordic societies and the global community. In 2003, Pio founded Morphic Productions – »Projects Worth Doing«, a consultancy firm that designs sustainable innovations to unleash creative potential and generate equality through social profit. Active in Europe and North America, the firm provides mentoring services to owners of family businesses and foundations in transition, thus enabling them to achieve their private and public objectives. In his many different roles – entrepreneur, CEO, creative director – Pio has led a variety of companies to success and recognition both in Europe and North America: Art and Technology, Kinnasand, Snowcrash in Sweden and Germany, Artek in Finland, Bruce Mau in Canada, Fondation Vodoz Danese in France, KohBarone Innovation in the USA, Studio De Lucchi, Produzione Privata, Danese, and EIS in Italy. As an innovator, Pio has consistently
enhanced the shaping of a new generation of services and products that have become, de facto, the new standard – from R&D to hybrid products development, from technology transfer to analysis of rapidly changing markets, from shoes to ultra-light catamarans, from concept cars to digital museums, from acoustic textiles to eco-efficient architectures. Pio has collaborated in various roles with, among others, Artemide, Cole Hahn, Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Bahn, European car manufacturers, Hermès, Mandarina Duck, MIT Multimedia Lab, Multimarine, Olivetti, Raichle, Umbra, and Vibram, and such cultural institutions as Centre G. Pompidou, Getty Museum, Kodomoshiro, Musée du Louvre, Réunion des Musée Nationaux, Triennale di Milano and Vitra Design Museum. He has been researching the structure of emotions and cognition during the process of change as well as environments that favor learning and is a frequent guest lecturer in Europe and North America. With post-graduate degrees in environmental engineering, Pio is fluent in English, Spanish, and French; basic in Swedish; Italian is his mother tongue. Currently, he lives in Stockholm, Sweden.
Alain Lardet initially worked with Francois Barre at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (CCI), and founded his career on a passion for design in both its cultural and economic dimensions. Amongst other roles, Alain previously held the position of Managing Director at Poltrona Frau, France. Using the significant experience Alain gained working with some of the leading design brands and institutions in France and Italy, Alain currently works as a consultant, advising his clients on strategy and design-based development. Alain 's international network is sustained by his professional activities and associated responsibilities, which keep him in close contact with the creative world. Amongst other activities, Alain acts as a design curator for major exhibitions (currently: Michel Boyer and French Design for the Year of France in Brazil, and Michele De Lucchi in Paris this autumn). Furthermore, he presides over: – The Agora Design Awards (by the French Ministry of Culture and Hermès Foundation); – The Designer 's Days association, which has been organising a design week in Paris for the last ten years. Alain also frequently works in close cooperation with Sophie Rheims Ass., pooling their complementary competences. In particular, they jointly ensure the national and international development of Designer 's Days.
Since she switched from writing about design in »Elle Decoration« – which she introduced to the Polish market and chief-edited for seven years – to teaching and curating design exhibitions, Agnieszka Jacobson-Cielecka has become one of the chief promoters of young Polish and international designers. She lectures on current trends, publishes in design and life-style media, judges numerous contests, aiming at spreading the understanding of design and its functions. In cooperation with cultural institutions in Poland and abroad she organizes numerous design exhibitions all over the world. Her last long-term project is the Lodz Design Festival which she has curated in 2008 and 2009. In 2009 she prepared following exhibitions: Play& Joke (Lodz Design Festiwal 2008), Natural Sources of Polish Design (Regional Museum Stalowa Wola), UnPolished (in cooperation with Pawel Grobelny for Design September Festival in Brussels), Polska Folk (Tent London during the London Design Festival 2009), and Design Tales (for Lodz Design Festiwal 2009).

Competencies: Product Design, Furniture Design The work of Uli Budde investigates the well-known everyday object, transforming the familiar with new solutions, which are both thoughtful and functional. With a close relationship to familiar products, objects and situations, Buddes´designs take on an easy understanding and acceptance into daily life – a clever simplicity with an unobtrustive presence. Simple, formal interventions in the designs evoke the functional, aesthetic and poetic. Table Lamp Balloon is a table lamp, generating diffused, ambient lighting. The lamp owes elements of its forms to the typical antique oil lamps and candle holders with a reflector placed behind the flame to reflect and direct the light. Using energy-saving LED-technique as light source, I wanted to translate this familiar image into a contemporary but warm and ambient lamp. Light shines upwards and enlightens the reflector, which tilts forwards, re-directing and reflecting a diffused glimmer of light. Reading Tables A combination of the side table and magazine rack – a logical combination to resolve a problem in a simple and unobtrusive way. The central island is a practical surface for placing coffee, plates, sketchbook, or laptop. The area that wraps around is a storage space for books and magazines. The outside rim also serves as a bookmark when taking a break from reading. Reading Tables are ideal for the living room, bedroom or waiting room, and come in two sizes. Plant Pots A re-interpretation of the traditional combination of flowerpot and saucer. Simplifying the external watering through a simple formal intervention leading to an extension – while formally referring to a flowerpot with a saucer. A bigger amount of water can be poured into the outside opening of the pot, which can be absorbed by the plant whenever needed. Cups Perfectly stackable cups. The horizontal ring on the outside of the cups prevent stucking into each other and enable a safe, endless stacking. A simple formal intervention evokes a huge functional result.

After a long experience as designer and design manager with some design studios in Milan and Paris, Samuel created in 2006 his own studio in Paris. Actually he works for various clients in furniture and product design in France and in Europe. His projects try to be simples, with some simple process and natural materials, but dedicating a strong aesthetic value to the detail. This details are giving for him an intrinsic personality at the object that the user must discover, and create a particular interaction between them. And this could will give to the object something like a soul. For Samuel, the interactions between the objects and the people are important, as the relationship between the people. About this fact, Samuel works on some design projects with friends, like Jean-Louis Iratzoki or the design group UNIT. Xistera / armchair (design with Jean-Louis Iratzoki)

On the opposing page you’ll see an example of some of the research put into Aaron’s designs. In this example, the rollator, you get a peak at the process behind the design. At the bottom of the opposing page you’ll see his focal point: researching perception. It might strike you odd to VHH VR PDQ\ ZRUGV EXW $DURQ ¿UPO\ EHOLHYHV LWœV LPSRUWDQW that people understand him as a design researcher as well as a designer.

Competencies: Interior design, Furniture design. “MD - Design” is a design studio established in 2006 by designer Katya Labinskaya. Our favorite route leads us from environment to separate things and vice versa. When we create interior we try to work out all pieces of furniture and décor. When we design one thing we think about how it will behave in interiors. Our design is like a friend. People feel easy and freely with it. It jokes. It cares for. It talks about important things. It develops the best sides of personalities. Now we work in Russia and look for the partners in the other countries.

yes, I also believe that the palazzina is truly an ideal place for a sort of architecture without closure, one that is also not concerned with beginning and endi ing, for example, and which is quite explicitly a phase, without thereby implying any lack of precision. Thes se are problems frequently posed by exhibition spaces, where the hermetic quality of the rooms calls for an artistic statement.

Skills: Design and Create Jewellery, Prototyping, Silversmithing Office, Adobe Creative Suite, Rhinoceros Basics Project Coordination, Project Management German, Italian, English, French Self-description My collections include two lines: Fine Jewellery, exclusive handcrafted pieces from precious metals combined with wood, stones, horn, diamonds and others. In every piece lies simplicity, strength and a strong approach to high quality. 2009 I introduced a Fashion Jewellery line offering a range of colourful ready-to-wear pieces in various dimensions and exceptional combinations. All materials are personally selected, focused on exclusivity. Besides realizing my own collections I create customer jewellery for the personal taste of women and men. Wherever I travel my hunting instinct keeps my eyes and mind open for anything I can transform into a piece of Jewellery. Alongside with my creative passion, I’m also specialized in communications and project management. Having different working experiences I earned many skills regarding design, development, production, presentation, sale and consulting.

The Faces of Design Academy
In January 2011, Faces of Design hosted the first of a new series of events: an intensive one-day workshop in the heart of Berlin, titled ÂťSocial Media Identity: Creating Your Virtual Self with Design ThinkingÂŤ. The workshop offered the participants an exploration of designing identities on the social web. The emergence of the social web has been mindblowing, but in some ways it has also been a pain. As each website becomes social in some way, we gather many different identities, create different social circles and need to remember and manage countless networks. A Google search merges these various identities into one and sheds light on our public persona in ways that were not possible before. Using the Design Thinking method as developed at Stanford University and practiced by design leaders such as Apple, the participants were invited
to discover their own social media identities and develop new ideas and concepts.

Boisbuchet: Let Sustainable Innovation Grow
For 20 years the Domaine de Boisbuchet – parc d'architecture et de design in Mid-west France has been fostering sustainable growth in the creative industry. The idyllic country estate is a meeting point for international visionaries and uncoventional thinkers, coming together to discuss ideas from design, architecture and economy. Source of this interdisciplinary creativity are the well-known Summer Workshops held every year on the premises. During the summer months, participants from over 40 countries enjoy the conceptual and geographic freedom of the vast area. Surrounded by the river, meadows and forests, they meet experts from all kinds of different disciplines. Something they have in common is a keen will to challenge known ideas and to quickly discover new learnings: creation and discussion start with the break of dawn. Most days at Boisbuchet end around the big dinner table, enjoying good food in great company and hearing many different languages blend into one. If the results of these meetings turn out to be suitably functional or instructive,
they remain on the premises to help develop their respective discipline. These stimulating constructions include, amongst others, the first buildings by Columbian architect Simón Velez – internationally known for his EXPO 2000 »ZERI Pavilion – zero emission research initiative«. There are also prototype buildings by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, by architects Brückner & Brückner and by Jörg Schlaich, as well as a Japanese Pavilion dating from 1864, which was given to the Domaine de Boisbuchet by the Shimane Prefecture. For many years different organizations like the Centre Georges Pompidou, the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Art in Limoges, the Corning Museum of Glass in the USA and the Vitra Design Museum have been supporting the Summer Workshops as an important cultural facilitator. Renowned universities such as the Pratt Institute in New York, the Keio University in Tokio, and the two universities UNAM and UAM in Mexico City are frequently involved in the exchange.
Alexander von Vegesack, founding director of the Vitra Design Museums und director of Boisbuchet, realized early that creative professionals are a vital factor for the knowledge-based economy. Sensitivity, hard work and his personal contacts are what helped him create a format that shows the holistic potential of the creative industries in the middle of the French countryside. Many international companies such as IKEA, Procter & Gamble, Faurecia Paris, Legrand Limoges, Daimler Chrylser and also Burkhard Leitner of Messebau Stuttgart successfully use the unique atmosphere at Boisbuchet for corporate and other value added workshops. They know that ideas can prosper especially well in this dreamlike setting of paddocks, knee-high grass and the distant sound of the river. www.boisbuchet.org
IDSA & IDEA
Slingbox 700U
The Industrial Designers Society of America’s (IDSA) International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA®) program fosters business and public understanding about the impact of industrial design excellence on the quality of life and the economy. Industrial designers determine the form, use features and interaction qualities of manufactured products, packaging and digital media systems. They study people at work, at home and in motion to create satisfying experiences with products from the kitchen and the office to the hospital and the warehouse, shaping these to fit their customers and to make effective use of industrial processes. In this way, industrial designers have a quiet but profound presence in almost everything people encounter during the day. IDEA entries are evaluated by a panel of world-renowned designers and design thinkers. The jury conducts the first round of judging online, followed by two-and-a-half days of intense, face-to-face evaluation and debate. Judging criteria focuses on seven areas of industrial design excellence: design innovation; benefit to the user; responsibility; benefit to the client / business; appropriate aesthetics and appeal; usability testing; rigor and reliability (Design Research category);
and internal factors and methods, implementation (Design Strategy category). IDEA entries are submitted to the following categories: Commercial & Industrial Products, Communication Tools, Computer Equipment, Design Strategy, Entertainment, Environments, Home Living, Interactive Product Experiences, Leisure & Recreation, Medical & Scientific Products, Office & Productivity, Packaging & Graphics, Personal Accessories, Research, Service Design, Student Designs, and Transportation. IDEA winners are considered outstanding examples of design excellence and innovation that again this year The Henry Ford deems them an integral part in telling the story of American innovation and has chosen to include IDEA award winners in its permanent collection.
»Professionally, it provided external international validation of the quality and value in the market for the research work we had submitted. This was valuable personally as the fourth Gold IDEA award I received beginning in 1983, 1991, 1999 and 2009. Internally to the organization, it validated the quality and standing of the research as a best practice for our department.« Stuart Morgan, IDSA Director of Industrial Design Ethicon Endo-Surgery Inc.
»It was a great first step into landing my first job out of grad school, and is still one of the highlights on my resume.« Luisa Fernanda Ruge Steelcase Inc. For more information about IDEA, please visit: http://www.idsa.org/ awards or contact idea@idsa.org.
»Winning the most IDEAs in 2010 meant that we got to celebrate our hard work with the entire team«, said Yves Béhar, the founder of fuseproject.
»It also provided a great story about the power of design to discuss with potential clients.« Yves Béhar, IDSA Founder, fuseproject

Weil am Rhein
The Vitra Design Museum ranks among the most important museums of design worldwide. It is housed in a remarkable building by the Californian architect Frank Gehry, where the museum stages two to three exhibitions each year on historical and current developments in design. These exhibitions provide visitors with detailed insights into the diversity and significance of design by vividly presenting the inspirations, background information and processes of design while also incorporating related fields such as architecture, art and other cultures. The work of the Vitra Design Museum is informed and guided by its extensive collection of furniture, lighting objects and industrial design, which is one of the largest of its kind. The collection concentrates on industrially manufactured objects, and covers the period
from 1850 up to the present. Nearly all exhibitions are conceived as travelling exhibitions that are subsequently shown at other leading international institutions. At the Vitra Campus, the museum's exhibitions are complemented by a wide-ranging programme of events, guided tours and workshops. Daily guided architectural tours of the Vitra Campus allow visitors to view the various buildings by world-renowned architects. From March 26th to October 3rd, 2011, the Vitra Design Museum will show the exhibition »Zoom. Italian Design and the Photography of Aldo and Marirosa Ballo«: In the second half of the 20th century, Italian design attained worldwide recognition. The Milanese photographers
Aldo Ballo and Marirosa Toscani Ballo played an important part in this success: by communicating the beauty and function of objects as well as their cultural message, the Ballos' photographs contributed significantly to the mythological status that surrounds Italian design until today. With its presentation of outstanding design objects, numerous books, magazines and posters as well as a large number of photographs from the Ballo archive, the exhibition »Zoom« portrays a new view of this era. The exhibition was curated by Mathias Schwartz-Clauss in close collaboration with Marirosa Toscani Ballo. After its presentation at the Vitra Design Museum, the exhibition will tour internationally.
