V EDITION
Reshape Competition 2019
Organized by Noumena in collaboration with INDUSTRY- From Needs to Solutions, Fira Barcelona and IED Barcelona, Reshape is a Design platform promoting research, design and the production of digital ideas, exploring implications and applications of technology in our society.
Driven by innovation and sustainability, Reshape aims to connect emerging talents in design, industry leaders, cutting-edge experts in tech, and research centre, rethinking digital disruption in the fields of wearables and product design.
Launched on a yearly basis, the Reshape Competition focuses on tech in fashion and smart products. The contest attracts worldwide designers exploring the impact of tech in design solutions on our daily life, habitats, and social behaviours.
Reshape competitions involve several institutions, industries and experts, with the aim of producing innovative thinking and a high quality network of designers. Living in the digital era gives rise to new problems and challenges that can be reshaped by designers.
Reshape has now announced the 5th edition of its annual competition: RESHAPE 19 | COGNIFIED MATTER.
The Reshape competition aims to connect valuable designers with industry players, giving support and valuable feedback to scale up their ideas. Focusing on future applications of Wearable Tech and Smart Products, this year's challenge invites designers, makers, artists and creative minds to predict new trends, elaborate novel solutions, and recalibrate existing markets in the direction of more sustainable models.
Our goal is to redefine contemporary devices towards a new generation of cognitive nodes, connecting us to our habitats and ecosystems.
