Lucky Iron Fish
Winning Company: Lucky Iron Fish Inc. (Cambodia) |
Lucky Iron Fish is a tiny object that possesses incredible powers. It treats iron deficiency – a condition affecting 50 percent of the population in developing countries. The mastermind behind Lucky Iron Fish is not a designer by profession, but conveys passion, persistence, research and problem-solving skills. Science graduate Christopher Charles sought to remedy anaemia in Cambodia, where conventional treatments are expensive and difficult to obtain. The simplest solutions are often the best. Lucky Iron Fish works on the principle that iron leaches into water when heated. Boil the inexpensive fish in a pot, and the job is done. Initial trials saw a staggering two-fold reduction in anaemia. Lucky Iron Fish is locally produced from recycled sources, contributing to the local economy. It has reached hospitals, clinics and NGOs across Cambodia,helping 89,000 people as of September 2015. |
nuri WASARA
Winning Company: SIMPLICITY (Japan) |
nuri WASARA by Shinichiro Ogata is a range of tableware made purely from sustainable materials derived from bamboo. Surprisingly thin and light, this specially coated bamboo paper is a naturally formed lacquer ware that’s fully biodegradable and compostable. The range has an innate affinity with the essential elements of Japanese aesthetics. Its elegant, flowing forms invite touching and holding, with curves that naturally follow the gently waving forms of one’s hand. In make-up, nuri WASARA is part lacquer — a natural material made from refined tree sap — part compostable bamboo paper and part bagasse. nuri WASARA is a lacquer ware pioneer. It is ecological, lightweight yet durable, and possesses excellent water-resistance and anti-corrosive properties. It integrates traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge techniques to create beautiful, sustainable and original tableware. |
PMQ
Winning Company: PMQ Management Co. Ltd. (Hong Kong) |
With an illustrious past dating back to 1862, the Police Married Headquarters (PMQ) site was envisaged as a flagship for Hong Kong’s creative industries, and an opportunity to nurture a fledgling applied arts sector to become a beacon for design across Asia. PMQ is now run as a non-profit social enterprise. Renovations began in 2012 and by mid-July 2015, it had received over a million visitors. Delivering the project required a raft of new thinking over how to incubate and foster a dynamic environment for the exchange of creative ideas, and how to cultivate business opportunities. By nurturing Hong Kong’s emerging create-preneurs and connecting them with overseas design communities, PMQ is building solid and lasting foundations from which a sustainable creative sector can flourish. |
SamsungActivewash (Washing Machine : WA6700J)
Winning Company: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd (South Korea) |
The Samsung Active wash was conceived following on-the-ground research into how households in Asia do their washing. Because many families pre-treat their laundry, Samsung Active wash has been designed to carry out machine washing and pre-treatment within the same space by using a built-in sink that removes the drudgery of laundry chores. This is the industry’s first integrated washing machine solution, whereby all laundry processes are amalgamated into a single location. It takes up no more room than a standard washing machine, and better utilises the limited space often found in Asia’s small apartments. Samsung Active wash passed the 100,000 unit sales mark in the Korean market in just 20 weeks following its debut launch. It is more than just a convenient appliance – it changes our everyday habits, and all for the better. |
SEILBag
Winning Company: Leemyungsu Design Lab (South Korea) |
Over 15 million of South Korea’s 50 million population cycle – and with a growing number of larger vehicles, accident statistics are running at an all-time high. The SEIL Bag is designed to call attention to two-wheeled vehicles. Worn like a backpack, the SEIL Bag is illuminated with signals alerting other road users to movements – including left turn, right turn, stop and even pre-programmed messages such as “thank you” – via Bluetooth. SEIL Bag designers needed to collaborate with technology and fashion consultants to ensure an ergonomic fit, find the right articulation of display signals and create the controller, secured on the handlebar or the rider’s wrist. The design has won support from government, business and crowdfunding platforms. It’s a product that directly addresses the importance of cyclist communication on the road. |
Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu
Winning Company: The Oval Partnership Limited (Hong Kong) |
As Chengdu transforms into a modernised city, developers must work out how to revitalise urban areas while preserving cultural identity. The Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li project at Daci Temple in Chengdu is a mixed-use development that revitalises its surroundings while rejuvenating the local community. An understanding of corporate social responsibility, local customs and the urban fabric were essential to the project. It retained ancient streets, restored six historic building courtyards and built 30 traditional low-rise houses in local Sichuan style. The juxtaposition of old and new at the development creates an inspiring alternative to conventional covered malls. Taikoo Li represents a new form of urban development and has engendered a different perspective towards urban renewal and public space that considers diversity and openness as the mode of the future city. |
The Voice Donor
Winning Company: Public is Guangzhou (Mainland China) |
The Voice Donor began when its designers asked themselves how they could leverage WeChat and its 600 million users to benefit society in the most positive way. They invited WeChat users to read a one-minute long passage of text which could be used to construct audio books. The Voice Donor connects users and blind readers, transforming voice messages into audio stories through the WeChat App built-in platform. The Voice Donor is notable for its ingenuity, intelligence and considered design. It exploits technology while creating an innovative and worthwhile solution, providing much needed services and an enhanced civic sense of social responsibility and accomplishment. So far, 112 voice books have been completed and the library continues to grow. |
Yellow Carpet
Winning Company: International Child Rights Center (South Korea) |
Road safety and care of pedestrians has become an issue of critical relevance worldwide. Korea is no different, and despite decades of highway regulations and transport policies, statistics show that over 40 percent of accidents involving children are caused by vehicles. Yellow Carpet works on the simple notion that an enlarged area of yellow adjacent to a road crossing both entices children to it and helps drivers to see them. The Yellow Carpet is distinctive from its surroundings and at night, illuminated via an infrared solar lamp when a pedestrian approaches the area. This project is a significant response to South Korea’s call for innovation, social enterprise and a more people-centric economy. When lives are at stake, the simple yet powerful Yellow Carpet demonstrates how design has the capacity to solve community problems. |

TeaParty II
Winning Company: Aurlia Corporation (Taiwan) |
Tea Party II revitalises tea culture with a modern perspective on boiling up a brew. The project incorporates art forms – including floristry, music, drama, graphics and industrial design – to beak the stereotypes associated with classic tea ceremonies and speak to a younger audience. It is a cross-disciplinary performance and a modern interpretation of Asian traditional tea art; one that creates a new image of and perspective regarding tea drinking while passing on the respectful tradition of tea culture. Project organisers have used modern mixology ideas to create brand new tea experiences fusing old and new and mixing East and West. Infusing traditional tea culture with a modern vibe, the team share videos and diaries on Facebook, making their tea stories more accessible and reaching a wider audience. |

RE;CODE
Winning Company: KOLON Industries FnC Organization (South Korea) |
RE;CODE is an up-cycling brand that provides a new lease on life to discarded products. The Korean company seeks and responds to a vision of the future through fashion. The process of up-cycling by RE;CODE is remarkably creative. Ready-made clothing is selected and dismantled before being re-designed and assembled in a new, exclusive style. Each piece is bespoke and unique, targeting a brand audience of individualists with a social conscience. RE;CODE gives opportunities to young designers and develops partnerships with marginalised members of the community locally and abroad, demonstrating its message around the world that newness doesn’t have to be wasteful. RE;CODE’s methods definitely do not follow fashion conventions; but as the company’s strap line states: ‘this is not just fashion’. |

|
|
Sketch Aquarium
Winning Company: teamLab (Japan) |
With Sketch Aquarium, teamLab is once again bringing art and technology to life. Sketch Aquarium is a wall-to-wall virtual aquarium populated by undersea creatures drawn by the children who visit. Their pictures are scanned as projections and converted into active marine life. The ScanSnap technology produces a uniform, clearly defined image. When used in conjunction with the Aquarium display, the images are captured and ‘-- DROPped’ into the screen, giving the young participants the impression that they are releasing their drawings into the wild. Sketch Aquarium encourages connections and introduces the concept of collaboration through co-creation. It’s a balance between art, science, technology and creativity that teaches children to explore their own efforts through making and crafting. |
