This is an annual product design competition organized by the Bento Gonçalves Furniture Industry Union. It takes place in conjunction with the Casa Brasil and Movelsul Brasil trade shows. Its goal is to encourage creativity, entrepreneurship, and technological innovation through design, and to recognize the talent of students, professionals, and companies in the field through various awards.
The project “Steady stool” was selected in the professional category—bedroom furniture—and the “Bambooleg Table” and “Zipp” in the home office furniture category. Twenty-four projects were submitted from Uruguay, with nine selected.
