Celebrating exceptional design and design talent
At Formland, we are committed to recognizing products and brands that exemplify innovation, functionality, and sustainability. With this in mind, the Formland Design Award will be reintroduced at the Autumn 2024 edition and will continue to be a highlight at all future Formland shows.
The reintroduced Formland Design Award has found its first winner after the relaunch, and it is the company MyPureWay and their product RE·ESSENCE. A ground-breaking concentrate in powder form, which transforms into a luxurious hand soap of 98% natural origin when water is added.
The winner was announced at opening of Formland Autumn 2024 on Saturday 17 August.
How the winner is chosen
Exhibitors at the upcoming Formland trade show are invited to nominate up to three designs. A professional jury will then evaluate the submissions and select a winner based on five key criteria: Relevance, Functionality, Design, Sustainability, and Innovation.
In a strong field of nominations, the jury assessed that MyPureWay/RE·ESSENCE best met the five criteria relevance, function, design, sustainability and innovation.
What the winner receives
The winner will be featured in an editorial in BoBedre and will also receive a piece of art from the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.
