International design competition Ottopanche (eight benches). The competition is a collaboration between Kuno Prey, Professor at the Faculty of Design and Art of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano and Cortina Turismo, Cortina d’Ampezzo’s Tourism Promotion Consortium.
The competition invites designers from all over the world to submit proposals for a bench dedicated to Cortina d’Ampezzo, Queen of the Dolomites.
“Ottopanche” is the second edition in a series of design competitions by Cortina Turismo, and follows the success of “Cullami” (http://dolomiti.org/cullami/index.html), the popular baby-cot design competition of 2013, which is still travelling through Italy and abroad.
I would be very grateful if you could share the award with any persons within your network who might be interested.
