SANYO Interntional Design Competition 2007
Deadline: 13 April 2007
Proposal of everyday-life products based on Think GAIA”
The word “Gaia” expresses the idea of a “living planet Earth” in which all of nature and all of life together form a single living organism. So that GAIA and people can coexist, we will develop only products that are truly needed, and we will create products that will please both people and Gaia. That is the “Think GAIA” brand vision of SANYO. In this competition we are calling for product designs to please both people and Gaia. The three key technologies A, B, and C below have been nurtured independently by SANYO. Working from a new perspective not bound by the “common sense” of the past, please reference one or more of these three key technologies in proposing an everyday-life product that will bring joy to Life and the Earth.
