The Dressed Stone competition came to its conclusion on April 14, 2010, at the Antoniolupi stand at the International Bathroom Furniture Exhibition, with the presentation of deserved awards to the winners.
The competition, which was organised in collaboration with Carrara Marmotec, was aimed at young and creative designers between the ages of 19 and 37. It’s objective was to identify new ways of looking at water using white Carrara marble and glass. The ambience was, of course, its placement in the bathroom and its relationship to wellness.
White Carrara marble is timeless, it is the material of the great architects, famous designers and sculptors who have always used it to leave their mark over time. Glass is the other main ingredient of architecture and design, a symbol of purity and fragility. The union of these two seemingly different materials, which are actually substantially similar, was the guiding principle of the projects submitted to the Dressed Stone 2010 competition.
The prize earned by the winners of the competition was the realisation and the production of the project, with a signed royalty contract. The uniqueness of the competition’s prize lay in the establishment of a commercial relationship between the winners and Antoniolupi, who will then produce and sell the winning items. During the awards ceremony, in fact, the winners signed their much sought-after royalty contract, which recognises them, for all effects and purposes, as the sole designers of their product.
The three winners wereMira, by Claudia Danelon, Kub by Victor Vasilev and Mono-Lite, by Cédric Facchin, Marco Di Paolo and Michael Abegg.
