Neolith: Fifth Annual International Design Competition
CASTELLÓN, Spain – TheSize, manufacturer of sintered-stone brand Neolith, brings back its annual international design competition for a fifth year – including a special award for fabricators.
Entries are accepted until Nov. 11 for creativity and innovation of designs incorporating Neolith surfacing.
The competition involves three categories:
Top Fabricator of the Year recognizes the most-meticulous and labor-intensive projects made by fabricators with Neolith slabs.
Projects will be evaluated as “little great works of art” that are technically complicated and require outstanding knowledge, ingenuity and the skills to produce them. To participate, projects must be completed between 2015-2018, outside of Spain.
My Neolith Project is open to design professionals who recently developed a contemporary, residential design project incorporating Neolith in multiple applications, such as façades, flooring, cladding, kitchens, bathrooms, furniture or swimming pools. The project should also highlight today’s modern design trends such as use of mixed materials, neutral elements and soft lines.
To be eligible, the project must have been completed between 2015-2018, outside of Spain.
Neolith New Talents involves architecture, design and interior design students enrolled in at least one class from 2017-2019. Neolith is challenging participants to virtually design a contemporary-style home meeting design trends such as a mix of materials, neutral elements and soft lines.
Students will design different rooms in the home without limitations on budget. Successful projects will integrate Neolith through different applications and atmospheres such as dining rooms, bedrooms, or outdoor areas while considering Neolith slabs available to them.
For each category, a team of industry judges will focus on the proposal’s originality, presentation creativity, technical complexity, variety of Neolith applications, quality before-and-after images, and the degree of environmental sensitivity in the project.
The grand prize for each category includes an all-inclusive trip to the famed Salone del Mobile Milano show next April, valued at approximately $5,000. Winners will be announced on Dec. 20 via Neolith’s website and social media channels.
