This competition was co organized by designboom and swarovski.

Below are some of the competition winning entries:

First prize

name of design : swarovski mouse
design by : jeremy doherty + simon Doherty + dareen Doherty from new zealand

designer’s own words:
By manipulating the design of an item used everyday into a sensual, feminine form we have created a personal gesture for the urban lifestyle of the working woman. The design of the mouse is a play on the form of the Swarovski logo. With this wireless computer mouse, we see the neck of the Swan supporting the crystal which is used as the toggle tool to scroll up and down, here we have created a tactile and innovative use for the crystal with which the user interacts. The body of the Swan becomes the body of the mouse which supports the users hand and leads the users fingers up to the two buttons located alongside the crystal. Finally, a subtle Swarovski logo has been included in the design at the base of the mouse.

2nd Prize

name of design : sparkle
design by : anthony mallier from india

NUS ID graudate Cher Lijun’s work “o’clock” has been shortlisted by the competition

designer’s own words:
A simple O shaped wall ‘clock’ that defines the poetry of time. The design drew inspiration from how a tree’s shadow changes throughout the day and how that shadow pattern reflects, measures and symbolizes time. In O’clock, time is defined likewise, with patterns created by refracted light from crystals. Two light sources move within the structure (as clock hands move); and the moving lights create changing light effects. O’clock requires a dialogue between the user and itself, sharing an appreciation of time.
