F3 Awards_Student Furniture Design Competition
F3 stands for Form, Function and Furniture. F3 Awards is thrilled to be partnered with Airstream and dTank. F3 Awards is a launching pad for college or university undergraduate students to explore furniture design as an integral part of design practice. The winning designers will receive cash scholarships of $3,500 for first place, $2,000 for second place and $1,000 for third place. The first place winner will work with engineers and designers from dTank to create a prototype of their winning furniture design.
What’s makes this competition different is that the five finalists will give a live presentation in front of an audience and an all-star jury – music entertainment executive, branding/marketing guru, industrial/furniture designer, interior designer, architect and the F3 Awards founder. The critique is unedited, unfiltered and uncensored.
The design brief is to design a Music Utility Vehicle [MUV] - a pop-up mobile music store to be utilized for as an in-store or an on-site promotion that’s instantly reconfigurable to promote a recording artist to fans on the go. The footprint for the MUV is the iconic and much-loved Airstream Travel Trailer. Conceptualize the exterior and interior of the MUV incorporating the programming based on the Airstream – PLAY, DISPLAY, DJ and PAY. The major part of the competition is to design and call out one custom furniture design that expresses the overall concept for the MUV.
