Design Competition THE INTELLIGENT HAND

http://www.designboom.com/contest/winner.php?contest_pk=30






















I submitted, I waited and I sweat it out... checking email with an obsession that shaved a few years off my laptop and now the results are in!! I didn't win! But I was shortlisted (150 of 3000), which is really very fabulous for a product that has little to do with "home accessories, tableware, utensils, small furniture..." But has everything to do with the other criteria as outlined in this beautiful sentence: "craftsmanship produces superior quality products, with attention to detail that reflect the careful artisan precision. by combining skill, commitment and judgment, the craftsman establishes a close relationship between head and hand, man and machine, which is vital to our physical, mental and societal well-being". This small endorsement is a nice push to explore the possibilites of these designs as products. The question remains: Cat, Croc or Mobile???
