"FEEL THE PLANET EARTH" Cifial Design Award 2008

At the "FEEL THE PLANET EARTH" Cifial Design Competition 2008 (Yes, the procedure took some time...), MoonLight has won one of the two first prizes. The 18th of June we received the award in Porto.

Loucas in action... The award money is equally divided between design team (perfect timing: from an economic point of view, it was not the smartest decision to graduate right now!) and University. TU Delft pays its part to Kamworks and supports this way their ambitious plan to produce the product for sale in fall (!).

We had enough time to visit the beautiful city of Porto...

...and spent quite some good time with the hospitable family of the award organisator...

Toon-van-Tuijl design award for the MoonLight

The MoonLight is the winner of one of the Dutch Design Awards, the Toon-van-Tuijl design price (check www.toonvantuijldesignprijs.nl and www.dutchdesignawards.nl). During the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, the lamp will be shown in the "Greenhouse" with all the other winners of the Dutch Design Awards.

Kamworks is now working even harder on the quick realization of the lamp... The price also includes some financial help for further development. There is also a new, more informative website with explanations of the company's core business and collaboration possibilities concerning further projects (www.kamworks.com).

Movie about rural Cambodia and the development of the MoonLight

And here is a last movie to give a short impression of the surroundings of Kamworks and the living circumstances of families in rural Cambodia. Also, the last part shows some user research, which we did a lot and helped us to find an appropriate solution in this totally different context.
