What is the future of furniture design?

eVolo Magazine is pleased to invite designers, architects, and students around the world to participate in the 2015 VMODERN Furniture Design Competition. The award was born from the desire to create a forum for the discussion, debate and development of innovative furniture design.  Our goal is to discover and promote the most creative pieces of furniture that will transform the way we live and interact with our environment. 

This is an ideas competition and designers may submit pieces in production, prototypes, and/or concepts.  Projects will be evaluated based on creativity, originality, feasibility, function, and aesthetics.

Participants may submit designs in any of the following three categories:

Seating: armchairs, benches, chairs, lounge chairs, recliners, stools, etc.
