Students Jesse Jacobsen and Paul Meyer won Rimowa’s 10,000 euro second prize with their Frame for All project.
It is “a universal mobility tool which can be converted into a variety of different commodities such as a load carrier, display table, shelter, or even a camping bed.”
Frame for All is light and easy to produce and assemble.
The Alcove project by finalists Gunnar Kaehler and Tjard Tensfeldt involves a series of shelters for parks and remote locations.
Parts can be carried in, bit by bit, by hikers and then assembled as needed, in a site-specific way.
Rimowa design competition finalists Lennart Blank and Lukas Dechau came up with Twofold, an ingenious bicycle back seat that doubles as a carrier.
Finalists Bastian Hau and Jan-Marcel Voggenreiter planned to work with bioluminescent mushrooms and algae to create a new type of light source, something that will function anywhere, anytime. Their project is called Imagine.
Finalist Karl Sperhake designed a luggage storage system for the inner city called Elevate. Bags are placed in the cabinets and moved underground for storage.
Lukas Bauer and Benjamin Staebler designed a series of movable, urban furniture, named Revival.
