Entries evaluated for ASEAN furniture design contest

Design experts and IP officials met in Bangkok on 27 August to judge submissions for the Creative ASEAN Furniture Design Competition hosted by ARISE+ IPR and the Department of Intellectual Property (DIP) Thailand.  All entries were carefully evaluated against a comprehensive set of criteria, including technical aspects, aesthetics, originality and innovation.

The winner from each country will exhibit their work at the Style Fair 2018 in Bangkok in October, as well as attend a study visit to a leading furniture design company in Southeast Asia. The contest aims to raise awareness among furniture designers in the region on the importance of creativity and protecting their IP.
