Designers from Brazil, South Korea, India<\/b> and China Take Top Honors<\/i><\/u><\/u><\/h3>\n

The winners of the 2020 Michelin Challenge Design global competition have been announced. Challenge Design is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and is a featured program of the Movin\u2019On Summit, the world\u2019s premier gathering for sustainable mobility.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

The theme, Upcycle, challenged artists, designers, engineers, architects and creatives worldwide to take inspiration or elements from previously-honored Challenge Design entries and create an Upcycled design that added environmental, societal or economic value.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

The winning teams came from Brazil, South Korea, India<\/b> and China.\u00a0 Additional Upcycle Judge\u2019s Award winners came from China, South Korea, Colombia, India<\/b>, France, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, Italy and the United States.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to our timely and relevant themes, an essential part of Challenge Design\u2019s prestige and continued success is due to the support of our jurors, who spent two days in virtual meetings to review the entries and select the winners in these extraordinary times. We are incredibly grateful for their support,\u201d said Nick Mailhiot, chairman of the 2020 Challenge Design.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

The Jury for the 20th<\/sup> Challenge Design was comprised of:<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Chris Chapman, Senior Chief Designer, Hyundai North America<\/u><\/u><\/li>\n
  • Dave Marek, Acura Executive Creative Director, Honda R&D<\/li>\n
  • Craig Metros, Design Director, North American Truck\/SUV, Ford Motor Company<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Louise Pelletier, Director, Center of Design, University of Quebec at Montreal<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Stewart Reed, Head of Transportation Design, Art Center College of Design<\/li>\n
  • <\/u><\/u>Frank Saucedo, Design Director, General Motors<\/li>\n
  • <\/u><\/u>Thomas Sycha, Head of MINI Exterior Design, BMW Group<\/li>\n
  • <\/u><\/u>Freeman Thomas, Global Strategic Design Director, Ford Motor Company (retired)<\/u><\/u><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The 2020 Michelin Challenge Design Upcycle<\/i> Winners:<\/b><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

    First Place: <\/b>Dayvid Almeida of Brazil for his entry, \u201cVolkswagen MUT.E\u201d<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

    \u201cIt is really important to think about mobility as a complex organism that we could design for our future. The first thought about Upcycle<\/i><\/b>was the idea to make something great and add the value of the solutions that nature has developed,\u201d said Almeida.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

    \u201cI am very grateful for this kind of challenge, for the importance that you give us designers to imagine the future of the mobility. I think for me and for a lot of people in the auto industry, they say Michelin Challenge Design is the most important in the world. It is very important because it brings innovative solutions,\u201d said Almeida.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

    \"2020Second Place: <\/b>Young Jae Kim of South Korea and Dinesh Raman of India for \u201cFargo\u201d<\/b><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

    \u201cOne of the challenges in 2020 was to understand what Upcycle meant,\u201d said Young Jae Kim.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

    \u201cPart of what made this Challenge Design different was that it focused on functionality more than aesthetics. You are going to solve greater problems,\u201d said his teammate, Dinesh Raman. The two are graduate students at the Royal College of Art in London.<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

    \u201cWe basically felt like jurors. We switched on the projector in our classroom and went through almost all the prior entries. We thought sustainability only made sense if it had massive impact both socially and economically,\u201d said Raman.<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

    \u201cThe whole process was really fun. We also took a great amount of inspiration from our memories of the \u201cTop Gear\u201d show in which Jeremy Clarkson had to drive through Vietnam,\u201d said Young Jae Kim.\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

    Third Place: <\/b>Chen Mango, from China, for his entry: \u201cMichelin Moving Space\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

    \u201cIn the near future, due to high population density and limited land resources, the concept of high-density vertical cities will come true in metropolises like New York, Shanghai and other cities,\u201d said Mango.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

    \u201cParking fees will be very high. If the private space module can be part of our house, we will never pay for parking. When we want a trip, we just need to book a sharing power module with our phone.\u201d<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

    Judge\u2019s Awards:<\/b><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

    In addition to the three winners, the jurors selected the following to receive Upcycle Judge\u2019s awards.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
