Sleep: ‘Wonder Tale’ competition
Sleep, Europe’s leading event for the global hotel design, development and architectural community, has announced a new competition aimed at spatial design students who are invited to create original concept images expressing ‘Wonder Tale’ and submit their entry via Pinterest. Influential hospitality design professionals will judge entries with the winning entries being exhibited at Sleep on 24 – 25 November.
The competition challenges design students to create original concept images for a hotel guestroom that draws on the essence of fairytales and folklore from around the world. They are expected to weave their own story touching on the human condition while playing with perceptions and disrupting the norm to engage and nurture the guest in new ways. The competition’s theme ties in with this year’s Sleep Set and Sleep Bar designed by Conran + Partners, in association with Sleeper. The two popular features are created afresh each year at Sleep, and challenge design companies to create built spaces that push boundaries and explore new ideas.
Student contestants are requested to tweet @sleepevent a link to their images entitled ‘Sleep Wonder Tale’ including the hashtag #WonderTale.
The closing date of the competition is 5 October 2015 and entries will be judged prior to the Sleep event by the Sleep Set design professionals including: Andrew Linwood, Areen Design; Anita Rosato, Anita Rosato Interior Design; Mathew Dalby, The Studio, Harrods; Oliver Heath, Oliver Heath Studio; and Shaun Clarkson, Shaun Clarkson ID.
Shortlisted entrants will be invited to attend Sleep 2015 at London’s Buisness Design Centre on 25 November, where they will have an opportunity to meet with the Sleep Set designers in a one-to-one mentoring session as well as enjoy exclusive VIP access to the conference and exhibition.
