Organized by Sindmóveis Bento Gonçalves for 30 consecutive years, the Salão Design Award is proud to be a consolidated project that reveals new talents, showing to the market the best of the designer production of furniture and accessories. Every year we are surprised by entries featuring striking identity and a harmonious undeniable emotional character, which does not mean they have less marketing potential. There are hundreds of stories about talent and dedication behind the projects entered, says the director of the award, Eduardo Nuncio. Throughout its history, the Salão Design Award has received 13,584 entries. This years judging panel was formed by designers Brunno Jahara, Glaucia Binda, Ivens Fontoura, Nicole Tomazi and Paulo Biacchi who evaluated the 776 projects entered and later the 30 finalists that were submitted to their assessment. The final phase had the 24 winners from four countries: Austria, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. The product chosen as the most innovative this year was designed by a student at PUC-RIO, Daniel Ruben Nasajon and his teacher Cláudio Freitas de Magalhães. It is a piece of portable cutlery called Biko, considered by the jurors to be an excellent commercial object for daily, democratic and rational use. Its design consists of a foldable, beak-shaped artifact, ideal for holding small portions of food.
