PREFACE

DESIGN TO IMPROVE LIFE

At the presentation of the INDEX: Award 2005 in September 2005, the chairman of the board of INDEX:, Jacob Holm, Managing Director of Fritz Hansen, said: “When the Japanese designer Kenji Ekvan received an award for his lifelong work for design as a force for positive changes, he said: “Design is giving shape to humanity’s dream.” In that case, the creation of INDEX: 2005 is design in itself. INDEX: 2005 is the dream of creating a world event for design. A world event that focuses on design’s importance to innovation and development beneﬁting individuals, companies and societies all over the world. A world event for Design to Improve Life. An event featuring the largest design awards, international design exhibitions and a summit for the world’s creative leaders.

Director Kigge Hvid, INDEX: 2005

INDEX: 2005 was founded with roots deeply planted in the humane and democratic design traditions in Denmark and with arms reaching far into the international design world to inspire, commit, debate and learn. With this publication, an insight is given into the ﬁrst step towards the realization of a dream - INDEX: 2005.

“I see strategy and organizational design from a different angle now.” Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, CEO LEGO Group, Fast Company

INDEX: A WORLD EVENT FOR DESIGN TO IMPROVE LIFE We are living in a time where the possibilities for and the demands to improve life for people all over the world are rapidly growing. Therefore Denmark decided to investigate how design can help develop and realize the necessary improvements.

INDEX:2005 is under patronage of H.R.H. The Crown Prince. INDEX: is initiated by the City of Copenhagen and the Danish government and is supported by leading Danish companies and foundations, with the purpose of creating a global event for Design to Improve Life based in Copenhagen. Every 2 years INDEX: presents the world’s largest design awards, hosts international design exhibitions and arranges an international executive forum for creative thinkers. Over time, the goal for INDEX: is to achieve the same significance to design as the Cannes Film Festival has to film. The realization of this goal began with the participation in the official opening of INDEX:2005 of designs from 43 different countries, influential designers and design thinkers from six continents and prominent delegates from international companies, research environments and design media. It was an opening that marked the first in a long line of INDEX: biennials.

”We need a politic that sees design as a process and a strategy. Just like they do with INDEX:” Hans Skov Christensen, The Confederation of Danish Industries

INDEX: AWARD – THE LARGEST DESIGN AWARD IN THE WORLD In September and October 2005 INDEX: presented three international design events under the header Design to Improve Life: INDEX: Award, including Award Ceremony and Award Exhibition, INDEX: Future Scenarios and INDEX: Views Summit. The events were united by a collective focus on design for the ﬁelds of Body, Home, Work, Play and Community.

INDEX: Award 2005 was awarded in the categories Body, Home, Work, Play and Community. The winner of each category received a prize of 100,000 Euros. The presentation of the INDEX: Awards was carried out in three phases: First the nomination and jury process, then the ceremony itself during which the awards were presented to the winners, and thirdly the exhibition of the top nominees’ designs from all over the world in ﬁve exhibitions held in central Copenhagen locations.

WHAT IS DESIGN? INDEX: believes that the key competence of designers is to give form to our surroundings. With the development of the knowledge society, the things that surround us are not only industrially manufactured, but also virtual products, services and experiences. At the same time, design has moved up in the value chain both in societies and companies and is becoming ever more important on the strategic level, where designers participate in the design of development programs, systems and strategies. The reason for this is a quiet revolution in the working methods of designers. Modern design methods combine the traditional design values such as user centring, visualization and composition of prototypes with new demands from the knowledge economy such as a high level of knowledge and research, cross-disciplinary approaches, technological insights and analytical approaches.

“INDEX: has taken an enormous step away from the rareﬁed, even elitist, world of traditional design competitions, instead highlighting the idea that good design is something that has a direct and immediate impact on improving life.” BusinessWeek

”INDEX: Award is a snapshot in time of the best of design today as well as design’s current state-of-the-profession”. Arnold S. Wasserman, Jury Chairman

”INDEX: is a phenomenal event and institution. Everybody, who participates, understands and values how fantastic this event is”. Alan M. Webber, Founding Editor, Fast Company

NOMINATION AND JURY PROCESS: CREDIBILITY AND IMPACT To secure INDEX: Award international impact and credibility, INDEX: invited a number of the world’s leading design institutions to nominate for awards, and a prominent international jury evaluated the submitted nominations.

NOMINATION PROCESS

INDEX: INTERNATIONAL JURY

The success of a new award depends on its credibility and international impact. Since INDEX: Award, with its focus on Design to Improve Life, is an award that differs in most ways from traditional design awards, this aspect proved very important.

Jury president Arnold Wasserman, Executive Chairman of The Idea Factory, (SG/USA); Paola Antonelli, Curator for Design and Architecture at the Museum of Modern Art NY (USA); John Heskett, Chair Professor of Design, Hong Kong Polytechnic, (HK); Johan Adam Linneballe, designer, Scandinavian Branding (DK); Alex Blanch, Headmaster, Puc Design University (CHL); Nille Juuel Sørensen, Assistant Director, Arup (UK); Dr. Robert Blaich, Blaich Ass. (USA), Uffe Elbæk, Headmaster, KaosPilots (DK); Dominique Perrault, Architect, Perrault Architects (F); Nanna Ditzel, Designer, Nanna Ditzel Design (DK); Pontus Wahlgren, Senior Industrial Designer IDEO (USA); Hella Jongerius, Designer, Jongerius Lab (NL).

To secure international impact and professional nomination evaluations, INDEX: invited leading design centres, organizations, universities and institutions, mainly from North America, Europe and parts of Asia to nominate designs for INDEX: Award 2005. At the same time the users – individuals from all over the world - were also given a possibility to nominate designs for the awards. 188 institutions from 45 countries accepted the invitation. The nominations took place at www.index2005.dk and began on 1 September 2004 and ended on 15 March 15 2005, with a total of 538 nominations from 43 countries.

JURY PROCESS To secure credibility the international jury, who was given the task of judging the entered nominees, was composed of leading designers, design researchers, design writers and design thinkers from Europe, USA and Asia. All the members possess great professional experience from broad areas of the design industry and wide-ranging experience from other internationally-recognized juries. In May 2005, the jury chose 118 top nominees for the INDEX: Award as outstanding examples of Design to Improve Life, and in August 2005 the jury chose the ﬁnal ﬁve winners, who were announced at the Award Ceremony in September 2005.

118 TOP NOMINEES FROM 23 COUNTRIES AT INDEX: AWARD 2005 118 designs were selected by the international INDEX: jury as top nominees for the INDEX: Award 2005. The numerous designs give an international, varied and challenging picture of how design can improve life within the ﬁve award categories: Body, Home, Work, Play and Community. The top nominees include all forms of modern design: products, strategies, services and virtual design.

BODY Top nominees in this category include design for, in and on the body, for example:

on the head. Hippo Roller, which in principle is a garden roller that can be ﬁlled with water, makes it possible to transport 90 litres of water across large distances.

ClearRX Design: Debora Adler and Klaus Rosburg for Target, USA.

Amun

60% of all prescription-drug users take their medication incorrectly. Part of the dilemma is that the traditional pill bottle hasn’t been developed/improved upon since its launch right after World War II. To solve the problem, designers developed a new pill packaging, where the graphics clearly indicate the mutual hierarchy of the pill bottle’s information, where the enclosed label cannot disappear, and where coloured rings clearly mark which family member is using the medicine.

Design: Peter Riering-Czekalla, Sebastian Ritzler, Vincent Holger Weckert, Germany. It costs more to toast a piece of bread than to have the lights turned on all day in the kitchen – but not many people know this. Private power consumption is a substantial contributor to the strain on the environment and use of limited raw materials. Amun registers a house’s total power consumption and uses lights and sound to alert users if the consumption changes. At the same time Amun registers and passes on detailed information about the power consumption to the user.

LifePort Kidney Transporter Design: IDEO: UK and USA Transport of a donor kidney from donor to recipient is risky business. By completely supporting the organ with artiﬁcial blood stream, pressure and pulse, the LifePort Kidney Transporter functions very much as an artiﬁcial human body. This way 50% more donor kidneys are preserved, and transportation time can be increased from 18 to 35 hours.

WORK Top nominees include design related to the work place, for example: 100$ Laptop Design: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA In the globalized world, a huge dividing line between those with IT and computer technology and those without it has emerged, and this has great inﬂuence on levels of knowledge, teaching and science. MIT’s 100$ Laptop is the size of a notebook, can be hooked up to wireless networks, is based on a free open source control system and can – thanks to a crank handle - be used in areas with unreliable or no power supply. MIT expect a signiﬁcant fall in the price of the computer, and the goal is to distribute it to millions of schoolchildren all over the world.

HOME Top nominees include design for and in the home, for example: Hippo Roller Design: Pettie Penzer and Johan Jonker, South Africa/Germany In developing countries clean drinking water is often retrieved far away from home, most often in smaller containers carried

Agrobot Design: Henrik Nørby and Jonathan Ørnstrup, Denmark Intensive modern agriculture is a signiﬁcant source of pollution.

ies and appear increasingly as unused spaces. Over the last ten years the water quality in Copenhagen’s inner harbour has been improved to the point where it now lives up to standards for swimming water. In light of these facts Plot designed a harbour bath with excellent access conditions, large surrounding recreational areas, great security and a lot of different possibilities for play, exercise and sports. Hundreds of thousands of Danes use the harbour bath in the middle of Copenhagen every year, and in doing so, the area has been become a recreational area for all citizens.

Agrobot is a modern agricultural robot which can be used to spread fertilizer. The farmer programs the robot to the speciﬁc fertilizing task, after which it navigates with DGPS and cameras. The high-tech approach makes sure that the Agrobot fertilizes much more precisely, makes better use of the chemicals, saves water and prevents the waste of fertilizer. Since the Agrobot can work at night, the quantity of fertilizer can be further reduced, because plants are more receptive to fertilizer at this hour and therefore need less.

COMMUNITY Top nominees in this category include design for what we share in common, such as infrastructure, network, education and mass media, for example:

Ford Green Roof Design: Ford, USA Does 40,000 square meters of grass sound like a public park? No. It is the roof of an industrial building. With the grass-covered roof, pollution-eating plants and a comprehensive recirculation system, Ford Rouge sets new standards for modern industrial plants. The design secures a healthy working environment, provides large recreational areas and minimizes the negative impact from industrial plants on the environment.

Skype Design: Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis, Holland Download a free program, call your friends and family all over the world, watch them on the computer screen and pay only what you already pay to access the internet. Skype has made this possible, and the result is that people all over the world can communicate independently of telephone company pricing. Toyota Prius Design: Toyota, Japan From the consumption of materials to driving and to ﬁnal removal, the design of the Prius has reduced CO2 discharge by 32%. At the same time, 90% of the car’s parts can be recycled and its environmental economy rates better than for other car produced to date. The noiseless hybrid synergy drive system puts the Toyota Prius ahead of all other cars in the same class in terms of acceleration, because engine power can be derived from the petrol engine or the electric engine - or both at the same time.

PLAY The top nominees in this category include design for leisure time, play and sports, for example: Tank Park Design: Grethe Løland, Norway More than 1,500 acid and oil tanks have been scheduled for removal in the near future from the Norwegian oil drilling rigs. Destruction or re-melting of these tanks is a very expensive and environment-straining process. The young Norwegian designer has instead suggested that the tanks be cleaned and welded together to form the structure of a mobile underwater aquarium that can offer its users a unique insight into the underwater life of the North Sea. Copenhagen Harbour Bath Design: Plot, Denmark The old industrial harbours are closed in many western cit-

INDEX: AWARD CEREMONY 2005… AND THE WINNERS ARE....… The largest design awards in the world were presented for the first time at an official ceremony at Copenhagen City Hall on the evening of 23 September 2005. Official guests and designers from all over the world, official Denmark, INDEX: partners, delegates from international companies and media participated in the event.

Designers from more than 35 countries waited in anticipation with 800 other guests, while the INDEX: jury, mayors and ministers in the presence of by H.R.H The Crown Prince inaugurated the INDEX: Award Ceremony in the beautiful ceremonial hall of Copenhagen City Hall. Then the tension was relieved. The ﬁve winners of the INDEX: Award 2005 are:

In the category PLAY: Apple iTunes, iPod Design: Apple Design Team, USA The combination of iPod and Apple’s iTunes software has revolutionized the modern music experience. The cool design gadget, which is loved by more than one generation, is combined with software that not only ensures that

IN THE CATEGORY BODY: LIFESTRAW™

musicians get paid for their music, but also gives the user the opportunity to carry his/her music collection around everywhere. For Podcasting, for download of literature etc.

Design: Torben Vestergaard Frandsen (Denmark), Rob Fleuren (Holland) and Moshe Frommer (Israel). LifeStraw™ is a straw that cleans polluted water. With LifeStraw™ you can drink clean water from a dirty puddle. LifeStraw™ prevents illnesses like cholera, diphtheria, typhoid fever and diarrhoea – illnesses that kill millions of people every year.

IN THE CATEGORY COMMUNITY: SIYATHEMBA Design: Swee Hong Ng, USA and Architecture for Humanity In Somkhele KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, 42% of all deaths are related to HIV. In spite of these horrible numbers, AIDS-infected people in the area are still stigmatized, and there is a pressing need for decent health facilities and information facilities. The winner of the category is a football stadium in which health clinics and HIV teaching have been established. The project was initiated in the light of a design and architecture competition created by Architecture for Humanity, who in one stroke raised the consciousness of social problems among architects and designers from all over the world.

IN THE CATEGORY HOME: SOFTWALL Design: Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen, Canada It is difﬁcult to make changes to the structure of old buildings, but Softwall makes it possible to create new rooms in them. Unlike hard walls and traditional room dividers, Softwall provides unlimited possibilities in terms of altering shape and space. Softwall is easy to transport and store and can expand up to 300 times its own size. Softwall dampens sound and can both absorb and release light.

The awards were presented by the patron for INDEX: 2005, H. R.H. The Crown Prince, Minister for Culture Brian Mikkelsen, Mayor for Building & Construction Committee Søren Pind, Nanna Ditzel’s grandson Emil Ditzel and chairman of the board of directors of the Confederation of Danish Industries (DI), Johan Schrøder.

IN THE CATEGORY WORK: FUNDESTATE Design: Ministry for Industry, Tourism and Commerce, Spain La Fundación have designed a website that focuses on improving the lives of more than 40 million Spanish-speaking craftsmen and artisans threatened by globalization. The site distributes knowledge of new design methods, new technology, product development, quality and product protection; this makes cooperation, knowledge-sharing and networking possible and creates access to new markets.

The ﬁve winners received 100,000 Euros and a unique gift from Georg Jensen or Royal Copenhagen.

“The ﬁve prizes of 100,000 Euros each, close to one million Swedish krona, place the newly established Danish design prize in the Nobel prize category … With INDEX: the Danes have shown that design includes something other than more and more knick-knacks in an already saturated market … The INDEX: prize is a design stake without precedent which puts the Swedish design stake in the shade.” Nordisk Interiör 5-2005

PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD On 10 November 2005 Hans Jensen, chairman of LO, presented the INDEX: People’s Choice Award. The winner was selected by method of voting among the audience, on the Internet and at the exhibitions. The award – a gift certiﬁcate to Royal Copenhagen – went to LifeStraw, and in this way the public conﬁrmed their agreement with the INDEX: international jury.

”The nomination of Museum to INDEX 2005 meant, ﬁrst of all, an important recognition from an impartial and very competent jury.” Adélia Borges, Museu da Casa Brasileira, Brazil.

”Design and innovation can contribute considerably to the creation of jobs. And Denmark will need that, when the great challenges faced by the welfare society must be met.” Hans Jensen, chairman of LO, at the presentation of the INDEX: People’s Choice Award.

“INDEX: should be commended highly for demonstrating design’s potential to transcend geographic, racial and economic walls. Will this award prompt a new recognition of Denmark’s presence as a nation of design? I look forward to seeing some Japanese design take that city by storm during the next INDEX:” Hirokuni Kanki, Axis, Japan

INDEX: AWARD EXHIBITION Pavilions of mirrors and light at central locations in Copenhagen – with free admission for everyone. The designs of many top nominees for INDEX: Award became accessible to the public, when INDEX: Award Exhibition opened on ﬁve public squares in Copenhagen.

To give the general public an insight into how design can help improve life for a large number of people, and at the same time create a live public debate about modern design, was the basis of the placing of INDEX: Award Exhibition. Placed purposely in locations with a large concentration of people in central Copenhagen and with free admission for everyone, the exhibitions became a huge draw. From the ofﬁcial opening, which was carried out by the Minister for Culture, Brian Mikkelsen and ass.director Finn Terkelsen of Tuborgfondet, on 24 September 2005, until its closing on 23 October 2005, over 167,000 people saw the exhibition, which stimulated applause, recognition and debate in both Danish and international media.

”The exhibitions are a catalogue of ideas that can improve the lives of a lot of people.” Torben Wierup, Berlingske Tidende

”They work well. It is a good, well-organized and fun experience to visit them. It is very professional.” Christian Holmsted Olesen, Børsen

”From an institutional point of view we believe the project was of great beneﬁt to our students and lecturing staff. It gave us an opportunity to work as a multidisciplinary design team and gave us a new vision/goal to explore, focus and ﬁnd holistic answers to the real issues that face our planet and continent within a design context. We have most certainly grown trhough our involvement in the process”. Professor Des Laubscher, Design Center, Sydafrika

”The INDEX: 2005 project was remarkable as an education experience because of the depth and breadth it brought to learning. INDEX: 2005 was an ideal project for Art Center as it moves to internationalize its scope and develop a more socially conscientious mission”. Professor Helen Sanematsu, Art Center College of Design, Pasadena.

The students at Srishti beneﬁted a lot with the ethnographic research methods and the exchange with other schools. Professor Poonam Bir Kasturi, SRISHTI School of Art, Design and Technology

INDEX: FUTURE SCENARIOS Ahead of us lie many possible futures, and the way we act now helps to decide which future is realized. Can young designers with a basis in professional future scenarios and modern design methods create strong visions for how design could improve life in their region in the future?

PASADENA PROJECT

INDEX: 2005 challenged young designers from leading design universities in India, China, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, USA, Chile and Denmark to show how design could improve life for people in their region in the future. In the light of future scenarios drawn up for INDEX: by Arlington

As an offshoot from the great collaboration in Future Scenarios, 14 students and four professors moved from the Art Center College of Design in California to Copenhagen for a three month period on 18 May 2005 to join the INDEX: team. From the temporary studies at the IT University in Copenhagen

Institute, USA, the 300 young designers threw themselves into the task. They worked on the basis of a modern design method developed by The Idea Factory, Singapore, and ﬁrst – on the basis of intensive research – created ﬁctitious future personas for whom they designed solutions.

the group created the detailed design of both INDEX: exhibitions and put together the overall communications design for all the events. On 23 August 2005 some members of the group left Denmark, while ﬁve students stayed behind to make sure that the design was carried into effect.

For example, the Chinese/American woman Anne Sui, who in 2010 would be 80 years old, had chopsticks designed especially for her arthritis-plagued ﬁngers and her medicine reduced to two pills a day combined with a diet of vitamin-enriched rice. Anne Sui was also given a small robotic dog, which assisted her in her daily rounds and a virtual altar with an uplink to her family in the old country.

The group consisted of: Students: Christopher Alvarado, Hannah Cho, Jorge Cruzata, Henry De Leon, Jessica Haye, Saman Iman, Trilby Nelson, Dien Nguyen, Deniz Orhun, Tina Park, Sara Petersen, Virginia Sin, Hovin Wang, Greg Wong. Teachers: Helen Sanematsu, Rob Ball and Dario Antonioni. Heads of department: Nik Hafermaas and David Mocarski.

The exhibition, which was opened by Copenhagen Major of Culture Martin Geertsen, president of Art Centre College of Design Richard Koshalek in the presence of H.R.H.The Crown Prince, was shown in Copenhagen Town Hall Square from 24 September through 23 October 2005.

INDEX: cannot thank the Art Center College of Design and each member of the group enough for the possibility of this unique teamwork.

PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS Design School Kolding, (Denmark); DesignCenter (South Africa); School of Design, Central Academy of Fine Arts CAFA (China); Pontiﬁcia Universidad Católica de Chile, PUC, Art Center College of Design (USA); American University of Sharjah (United Arab Emirates); SRISHTI School of Art, Design and Technology (India).

INDEX: VIEWS SUMMIT A MODERN DESIGN CONFERENCE From 25 September to 28 September 2005 creative thinkers from all over the world met in Copenhagen and Malmö for a new and different design and innovation conference: Instead of talking about design and innovation, they used the principles of new design methods in practice to investigate the potential and to create new ideas about design to improve life.

CREATIVE THINKERS:

How many mutual problems around the world can we start to solve by using modern design methods that combine insight into people‘s needs, accessible knowledge and technology as well as our creativity?

INDEX: Views Summit summoned many of the world’s creative thinkers with young designers, researchers, politicians and authorities from the Øresund region to investigate. INDEX: Views Summit was organized as a modern design lab: 30 international creative leaders, 30 young designers, 25 researchers and 5 process leaders assisted by documentarists and facilitators were challenged to develop new approaches, ideas and suggestions to the solution of ﬁve global challenges for people all over the world. Every challenge represented one of the ﬁve INDEX: 2005 categories: Body, Home, Work, Play and Community.

Throughout the process, the participants were intensely involved in using the principles and methods of New Design in practice. The results of three and a half days of intense working for the 125 participants in INDEX: Views Summit included: • A showcase for the new design agenda – which demonstrated how the basic principles and methods behind the new design agenda can be used in practice as a tool for innovation. • A catalogue with 12 exciting ideas for Design to Improve Life in the categories Body, Home, Work, Play and Community. • A conference with meaning which gave a unique insight and experience and became a foundation for concrete actions and new initiatives among the participants.

“Views Summit is a breakthrough in designing a fruitful and rewarding meeting with maximum ﬂow of creative ideas and a clear sense of purpose.” Dr. Tan Chin Nam, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information, Communication and the Arts (Singapore)

“INDEX: Views Summit demonstrated the great value of new design processes for companies and organizations wanting to strengthen their human-centred innovation. It was an intensive and enlightening experience to be part of.” James R. Lee, Managing Partner, Lee & Partners

My personal network has been strengthened with fantastic individuals and with new and inspiring perspectives on “Design to improve life”. Furthermore, INDEX: Views has helped create a global agenda in relation to design, which I believe I and my company will beneﬁt from professionally.” Pernille Weiss Terkildsen, Innovation Director, Arkitema

”Not bad for a conference” Fast Company

INDEX: WAS ALSO In a network organization new knowledge and new approaches constantly emerge. To fully exploit this phenomenon, INDEX: initiated and completed a series of smaller international and Danish events for companies, partners and the design trade in the period leading up to 2005.

REGIONAL FOCUS IN VIEWS ON

INDEX: arranged 10 Views On events in Copenhagen and Malmö in collaboration with Øresund Design and the Danish Design Center to maintain the regional discussion, anchoring and development.

A DYNAMIC ORGANIZATION which organization design can attract large amounts of international knowledge and engagement, contain CEO’s, designers and technicians, ensure precise control and continuous development, obtain successful fundraising and develop regional anchoring, be ﬂexible enough to absorb continuous changes from very few to quite many employees, and establish international impact and credibility – all at the same time?

In the light of this consideration, INDEX: was founded as a network organization made up of so-called lounges. Every lounge was organized in a loose structure with separate tasks and communicated continuously through websites and network or via the Operational Lounge (daily management).

STRATEGIC LOUNGE:

Lounges can quickly and with no trouble be expanded, changed, given a different work area, shut down or created as required, and the entire organization is coordinated from Denmark, where a staff of six keeps everything together.

Janus Krarup, Vice President, National Agency for Enterprise and Construction; Jesper Hermansen, Head of Departments Danish Ministry for Culture; Ulla Hovgaard Ramlau, former Director, Danish Design Center.

Chairman Jacob Holm, Managing Director of Fritz Hansen; Vice Chairman Jørgen Rosted, Development Manager, National Business and Housing Agency; Erik Jacobsen, Managing Director, Municipality of Copenhagen, Financial Administration Department; Gaute Høgh, Managing Director and Founder Co & Høgh;

In less than three years the organization grew from two to many thousands. Thus in the spring of 2005 more than 500 people on six different continents were working on concrete INDEX: projects. The strength of the organization design is that INDEX: in this way secured great international, regional and national engagement and access to completely essential knowledge. At the same time INDEX: accepts that such a network structure cannot be controlled and managed in every single link, but is working in the light of a shared vision and a shared plan of action.

”And here at the end of the design year, Denmark takes the initiative. Not by showing breakthrough design – for it is far too difﬁcult for them to liberate themselves from the heritage of Arne Jacobsen and the other old masters. But INDEX: is in itself a design achievement which places Denmark at the centre of the design world.” Sydsvenska Dagbladet

”An idea that must be spread all over the world. Especially in Germany.” Dorothee Müller, Süddeutsche Zeitung

”But we should also dip the ﬂag for the people behind INDEX:. The designing of beautiful objects may not be the area, where the greatest future design challenges lie. And that is what we should praise INDEX: for saying so clearly.” Editorial, Politiken (DK)

”It has with no question contributed to the elevation of design in the world. It was for many of my students in the Arab Emirates an occasion to discover that design is universal and can be acted upon “on line” with collaboration and association of other designers”. Professor Claude Berube, American University of Sharjah

MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION How is a new world event for design launched towards the international design industry and partners, and why do Business Week, Bov Magazine, Fast Company, LA Times, Aabenraa Avis, Euro News, BBC World and Axis comment on a design event in Denmark?

The main goal for the communication in INDEX: 2005 was to create engagement and trust in INDEX: and knowledge about INDEX:’s events, the focus on Design to Improve Life and a widened conception of design in the international and Danish design industry. Next, the goal was to create impact towards the partners and ﬁnally to attract an audience to the public

conception was discussed in every part of Denmark as well as in leading international design and business media.

events.

Improve Life, and for the broad design conception that INDEX: uses – while a few Danish media have expressed negative viewpoints in which INDEX: has been criticized for forgetting classical Danish design.

Of all the publicity, 87% was positive towards INDEX:, while 13% aired both positive and negative angles. Every comment in the international media have been positive for Design to

The first part of the communication should ensure the commitment of the design industry. This took place on a personal level through meetings, network meetings and lectures. That way the two first employees in INDEX: in one year met over a thousand trend-setting design personalities, which at the same time supported the creation of the network organization and made the programme for 2005 more specific. This network was in the next few years maintained and expanded with communication via websites, news letters and mail.

For more detailed information on communication results see appendix 38.

After that, the communication towards future partners got underway. This was done through personal contacts to chosen partners, who design- or value-wise held similarities with INDEX: through broadcasts and lectures and at the same time an intensification of INDEX:’s profile in Danish business media. In this way 37 partners – private and public – were involved, and together they raised DKK 33.1 million for INDEX:. At the same time, the programme was refined and INDEX: was given access to their many new partners’ own printed and electronic media. Finally, the communication to the broader public was launched via the mass media, distribution of the folders and the presence on the central squares in Copenhagen. This meant that 167,000 visitors saw the exhibitions in four weeks, where the average design museum in Denmark attracts some 70,000 visitors a year. Furthermore, Design to Improve Life and INDEX:’s broad design

”The international design exhibition INDEX: 2005 that is about innovation and product development more than anything else has become such a big success that Copenhagen should feel lucky to keep it. The whole world is now looking forward to INDEX: 2007 which is built on the same idea – about design that leads to new products, that improves life for people.” Mikkel Rømer, PH Productions Horisont

INDEX: PARTNERS The 37 private and public INDEX: partners have had a great signiﬁcance for the completion of INDEX: 2005 both in regards to knowledge, network and ﬁnances.

INDEX: partners should ensure powerful impact and support in the Danish community, and at the same time send a clear signal to the international design world that a united Denmark was behind the aims of INDEX:. INDEX:’s partners included private businesses, private and public funds, employee and labour organizations, The Danish State, The City of Malmö, The Region of Skåne, The City of Copenhagen and EU. A series of the partners shared business strategies with similarities to INDEX:’s strategy, while others had an overall interest in attracting tourists to Copenhagen, and yet others exercised the role of a patron of design – by supporting INDEX: and an event that they felt was important. The partnerships were created so that each of them focused on the areas in which INDEX: and the partners shared the same strategy. Besides mutual proﬁling and marketing collaborations, INDEX: arranged exhibitions, workshops, go home meetings, competitions and knowledge sharing with the partners. Out of these partners, 85% wish to continue the collaboration with INDEX: after the 2005 contract expires. 85% feel that they were treated well or very well by INDEX:, 90% are very happy with INDEX:’s focus on Design to Improve Life, and 100% believe that the media publicity have been good or very good. For more information on ﬁnances, see appendix page 3032.

”The gala event was a big success for our customer function.” Pernille Isholt, FEDEX Express, Europe

”Copenhagen Airports have been very happy working with INDEX:. It is impressive how they have managed to put design on the agenda, and at the same time have the courage and the skills not to think within traditional design, but have expanded the concept to: Design To Improve Life”. Henrik Bjørner Søe, Copenhagen Airports, Commercial Department

”It is unique to see ethics, aesthetics and business sense in such eminent balance.” Exhibition Guest at the INDEX: Award Exhibition

”The way of cross-disciplines and careness of our society and people’s life, the integration of cultures, all has gotten huge positive attention at CAFA. We use the Future Scenario project as an example of international design education collaboration and its necessity in national design education.” Professor Xiao Yong, CAFA, China

“INDEX is a bold attempt to explicitly relate the design process at all levels to the needs of humanity at the highest level – an extraordinarily timely and much needed initiative. This is the ﬁrst really practical and effective example that I’ve seen of creative individuals becoming real global citizens.” John Petersen, President, Arlington Institute, USA
