The Reece Bathroom Innovation Award returns in 2014 to turn the spotlight on bathroom furniture, with a brand new brief and incredible prizes on offer.
The Reece Bathroom Innovation Award (BIA) will turn its focus to the endless potential of bathroom furniture in 2014 and reward Australia’s most innovative bathroom product designers with a range of incentives.
“The BIA has always been about pushing the boundaries of bathroom product design so this year we’re looking to student and professional designers to really explore the possibilities of bathroom furniture. We want to see how Australia’s emerging design talent can reinvent and truly redefine the vanity unit in a way that uniquely enhances the bathroom space,” says Reece Bathroom Marketing Manager Belinda Geels.
It’s not just the BIA brief that’s been updated for 2014 – the competition’s prizes have been revamped to include opportunities for both the professional and student winners. Along with a $10,000 cash prize, the 2014 BIA professional category winner will have their entry prototyped by Omvivo, one of Australia’s leading vanity unit manufacturers.
The student winner will head to Barcelona for a two week internship with the leading global designers at Roca, the world’s largest bathroom manufacturer, as well as collecting $5,000 in cash. The student winner’s tertiary institution will also be awarded a $5,000 prize.
The competition is open to both professional and student designers from 1 March 2014. For more information visit www.bathroominnovation.com.au
