Winners of the International Design Competition S.I.T. (Search for International Talent) announced during the festive final in the Atomium in Brussels.

During the past five months JORI has organised a prestigious international design competition under the name of S.I.T. (Search for International Talent). The aim of the initiative was to discover trends, developments and talent.

From more than 200 registrations and 93 entries there were a total of 7 winners. The jury, consisting of an international cast of top designers and prominent figures from the design world, agreed that these 7 designs were all of equivalent quality with regard to creativity, innovation, technical feasibility, design and ergonomics. The prize money totaling € 40,000 was divided equally among the winners.

JORI is pleasantly surprised by the large number of responses to this initiative and their quality. This indicates just how many talented designers there are in Europe, with an original vision of the future of living in general and new seating furniture in particular.
