wewow announces winner of sustainable packaging design competition
In September 2009, wewow launched a unique design competition with the aim of promoting practices of sustainable design to students, graduates and product designers. The Bradford-based company have today announced the winner of the design contest; Sun Park, a student from Central St Martins College, London.
Sun Park sucessfully combined design flair with an environmental conscience to produce an innovative packaging solution for CD and DVD media. Although the details of her unique design concept are being kept under wraps until the official launch of the CD/DVD packaging solution later this year, wewow have commented on the high calibre of this year’s entries;
“The designs we received this year have been outstanding and truly innovative. Selecting the winning design was a tough decision as the five short-listed entries in paticular were truly exceptional,” commented Managing Director, Stuart Jones.
Entries were received from across the globe with a whole range of sustainable materials being utilized by the designers to produce eco-friendly packaging concepts. Commendations go to Florin Alexa-Morcov from Romania for her design, ‘DisPlay.’ DisPlay transforms CD storage into a unique interior design feature whilst utilizing sustainable paperboard and water-based glues. The outstanding finalists also included Andrew Rennie’s eye-catching CD packaging solution, Thomas Horwood-Luscombe’s CD/DVD mailer [pictured below] concept which provided a unique packaging solution for the rental industry and Sarah Young, the designer of an eco-friendly USB packaging concept.
The winning entry will be developed by Sun Young and wewow with the aim of launching the product at the end of 2010.
