This Saturday was especially nice, because I have heard that I’m one of the finalists in the category 2011 consumer goods (industrial design) with my polychrome hybrid jacket. The jacket was chosen among the 6 best out of 180 applicants. The industrial design award ceremony will be on 28/09/2011 in Vienna. Let’s see what awaits me.
