After a successful debut in 2013, the Launch Pad will return with a group of select market-ready prototypes from 17 international design studios and independent designers seeking manufacturers or distributors/retailers.
During 4 days at WantedDesign, visitors will be able to meet the designers and discover each project and to vote until Monday at noon.
On Monday May 19th, the jury committee, led by Nelda Rodger, Azure’s editorial director, and comprising of Matthew Sargeant of Hatch Hub; Mirko van den Winkel, executive vice president of Moroso USA; Antoine Roset, executive vice president of Roset USA Corp.; Kari Woldum, vice president of merchandising at Design Within Reach; and Laurent Hainaut, president of Raison Pure NYC, will review the Launch Pad exhibition and reward the best product.
The Launch Pad is supported by AZURE magazine.
