The Italian Copper Institute promotes a competition for the creation and design of objects made with copper or its alloys.

Topic of the competition
The design of a home décor object whose realization provides for the use, in a proper and significant way, of copper or its alloys (brass, bronze, cupronickel, etc.).

Design criteria
The objects to be designed must be meant for a home environment and, as a rough guide, can be one of the following categories:
• Furniture (chairs, tables, coffee tables, bookcases)
• Furniture complements (coat hangers, magazine racks and book shelves, vases)
• Coverings and decorations (wall coverings, dividing walls, doors)
• Functional elements (radiators, lamps, lights)
It is possible to combine and/or integrate more materials in the project; in any event the parts made of copper or its alloys must have an important and major role in the overall manufacturing of the object designed. The design must enhance the aesthetic and performing qualities of copper and its alloys.

The competition is divided in two categories:
• Interior designers and architects not older than 40 years of age (on the expiration day of the competition notice), individually or in a group or employed in the sector.
• Individual students or groups of students, regularly enrolled in higher education schools of graphics, interior decorating, interior design, faculties of architecture and interior design, doctorates, masters and equivalent courses, coordinated by at least one teacher of the course.
