EUROPEAN DESIGN COMPETITION Earlier this year we launched a European-wide competition to find the next wave of design #disruptors. Entrants were challenged to create an innovative design
that would respond to or enhance elite sports performance in a new and radical way. This could be applied across product, technology, clothing or digital design. From protective wear, to
audio and visual enhancers, transportation to architecture, we were so impressed by the level of thought, attention to detail, and truly innovative and inspiring designs that we selected two
winners from the hundreds of entries received. While one embraced beautiful design to create something truly multifunctional and intelligent, the other used an experimentation of materials
and technology to propose a new concept for experiencing sport. Both were well-thought out, considered designs that impressed the judges for their understanding and application of the
Disruptive by Design brief. The two winning #disruptors are: THE KONK NACHO FERNANDEZ BELLETTE + LUIS ENRIQUE MUÑOZ VARGAS SPAIN THE JOY OF PRACTICE STEFANO PANTEROTTO AND FRANCESCO LUDOVICO
