Pininfarina launches design competition for a new world
TORINO, Italy, October 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

How design will have to approach the new world? On the occasion of its 90th 
anniversary, Pininfarina launches an international design competition that 
challenges students from all around the world to create something that 
expresses their dreams for the future: “Design Reset: New Dreams for a New 
World”. An initiative engaging prestigious international schools that enables 
the community of creative young people to rethink what human experiences will 
be like in the New Normal. 

Design has the ability to innovate continuously while enhancing the lives of 
people. As the whole approach to designing and life has been questioned during 
these times, Pininfarina, which operates in such various areas of design from 
product to architecture, UX/UI and all forms of transportation, has been 
particularly sensitive to the kind of future experiences that Design should 
deliver and that people might want to rethink or change completely after the 
pandemic.

The contest will involve the new generations to re-think a positive future way 
of moving and living thus submitting projects where product and experience come 
together. 
 
The contest is free to enter for anyone over the age of 18 attending the 
following schools: China Academy of Art (China), Coventry University (UK), FH 
JOANNEUM Industrial Design (Austria), Hochschule Munchen (Germany), IAAD-The 
Italian University for Design (Italy), Istituto Europeo di Design - Torino 
(Italy), ISD Rubika (France/India), National Institute of Design Ahmedabad 
(India), Politecnico di Torino (Italy), PRATT Institute (USA), Royal College of 
Art (UK), Strate School of Design (France), TsingHua University (China), Umea 
Institute of Design- UID (Sweden), USP (Brazil).

Until March 2021 students will have the chance to submit their solutions 
inspired by three different themes: 

- Smart Individual Mobility: a new way to move that is easier, cost-effective, 
environmentally-friendly, safe and comfortable for the individual 

- Smart Social Mobility: a new way to move together, namely create new forms of 
collective mobility that promote the concept of sharing and a sustainable 
lifestyle.

- Smart Spaces: a new way to live together, namely create a temporary outdoor 
pavilion to be completely built off-site through rapid prototyping, digital 
fabrication and/or robotic technologies.

The competition closes on March 31st, 2021. The winner of each category will be 
awarded a 6-month Internship at Pininfarina’s design studios in Torino, Miami 
and Shanghai. A Special Chairman Award will go to the work that reserves a 
special attention to the Pininfarina design values. The DesignWanted Special 
Award to the best architectural vision will be awarded with the publication on 
designwanted.com.
