The International Design Awards (IDA), in collaboration with the European Product Design Awards (ePDA), recently issued a call for entries to the Covid-19 Design Innovation Grant, as a way support those who were working to provide innovative solutions to tackle some of the most pressing problems and needs during the Coronavirus Pandemic.
The open call received an overwhelming response, with hundreds of creative designs and ideas submitted from all over the world, showing how talented and visionary designers were turning their skills towards tackling these issues in practical ways.
The Fashion Design call for entries invited graphic designers and illustrators to submit their designs for a resource to help the public protect themselves, prevent spreading the virus to others, or deal with the psychological effects of isolation. The Final Winner of this $2,000 Grant is Danielle Elsener - DECODE.
Danielle Elsener
The world is changing in reaction to the current pandemic. How do we change with it to make a more sustainable future for ourselves? Danielle Elsener created a pattern for a "Zero Waste Scrub Set" that can be printed at home, allowing you to simply cut and sew.
Speaking about the Grant and its purpose, IDA’s founder, Hossein Farmani, commented: “It’s important that design awards like IDA utilize the tremendous resources that we have at our disposal through our network, in encouraging the design community to put their creativity to work for a common human cause.” He continued, “By awarding these grants, we create an atmosphere where designers can be part of the collective solution for better, safer, more secure life for all mankind, which is why we emphasized the importance of all submitted designs and creations being made available to the public so that these ideas can be reproduced, improved on, and be easily accessible for all.”
IDA’s manager, Hannah Lillethun, also commented, “It has been heart-warming and inspirational to see how many people accepted our challenge and have put such effort and passion into creating these new designs and being willing to share them with us, and the world. This is what we are about — getting the incredibly talented and innovative designers from all disciplines to push boundaries and take steps forward that others can follow towards a better future.”
