Best in show at Habitare 07
Forum AID will award the +1 diploma for best in show at Habitare in Helsinki, Finland.
Welcome to visit the prize award the 20th September at 3 pm at the stage in hall 5, in the design district Ahead!
The annual award is handed out by the magazine Forum AID to the furniture fair’s most interesting innovation. This is the second year that the +1 diploma is awarded in Helsinki.
The judge will be the designer Timo Salli, last year’s recipient of the +1-diploma at Helsinki Design Week.
The rules for the +1 are the simplest imaginable. From the selection shown at the Habitare Fair, Forum AID chooses this year’s novelty. Thus possible prize winners are any of the objects on show – furniture, lighting, textiles, fittings – whether large or small. One judge chooses the winning object. The winner has the task of making the selection. In this way the same designer will never be in a position to win in two consecutive years. Previous winner was Timo Salli (2006) for the lamp Helsinki Lighthouse.
