LG Design Contest 2008

The design contest in 2007 had such a success in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, that LG CHAMP EUROPE decided to expand it to no less than 10 european countries this year. The theme was "Catering", and was left very open so students could let their creativity run free. They had to use the material LG HI-MACS® (a stone/acrylic composite). The winning country was the Czech Republic with the design by Karel Vranek, with this gothic-inspired table "DEKO". Check out all the 10 countries finalists by clicking more...
