chestnut roaster
The aim of the HAU Traditional Basque Objects Design Contest is to update the design of a traditional object present in the Basque culture. This means that we contribute, on the one hand, to the research and recovery of traditional uses and customs and, on the other hand, to the adaptation, renovation and reinterpretation of traditional objects from the point of view of contemporary design, establishing new relationships with our history and expanding the lines of research and fields of action of design.
Ultimately the aim is to recover the traces of our ethnographic experience through design, seeking to strengthen links between tradition and contemporaneity by combining respect for and recognition of craft-made design with the experimentation and potential of contemporary industrial design.
The piece to be reviewed in this call is the chestnut roaster.
In this edition, the Jury was made up of Fermín Leizaola Calvo (Director of the Ethnography Department of the Aranzadi Science Society), Elisabeth Urrutia Bea (Industrial Designer), Xabier Llordes (EIDE, a professional association of industrial, graphic and space designers in the Basque Country and Navarre), Jon Lamborena (Head of design at IBILI Menaje, Nagore Lauroba Izaguirre (Industrial Design Degree Coordinator, Mondragon Unibertsitatea-Goi Eskola Politeknikoa), Helga Massetani Piemonte (Director of Bitamine) and Agurtzane Garai Ibarluzea (Mediation Manager at San Telmo Museoa).
The jury decided to give its award to the project DINAK presented by Marta Loidi Urquizu.
