Project Title: OOObjectWinning Company: Green & Associates (HK) Ltd (Hong Kong)“The business model can sustain itself. OOObject has also located its factory near to where it sources the materials – the company links two vital aspects together.” Freeman Lau, Design for Asia Awards 2014 Judge Synopsis: Over 50 kinds of food waste and 20 kinds of non-food waste are used at OOObject for upcycling. To help build the company’s long-term sustainability, CL Lam realised the importance of securing interest overseas, not just locally. The concept of OOObject was generated in 2006. Since then Lam had tested and developed a number of possible design ideas and in 2009, he introduced OOObject to Europe, followed by China and Hong Kong in 2012. With China being popularly described as the world’s factory, there is certainly a rich supply of bi-products and waste material for OOObject to feed on. In this respect, his business strategy is ingenious – not only making use of abundant supplies of waste material but also helping to solve China’s enormous and pressing problem of waste management.

Project Title: The Colours of Asia Winning Company/Organization: The Design Alliance Asia“The Colours of Asia brings us back to our sense of colour as humans. The palette is not only an application system, it restores the richness of colours.”Eric Chan, Design for Asia Awards 2014 JudgeSynopsis: “Colours of Asia” was an event held in Hong Kong, spearheaded by the Design Alliance Asia and co-organised by the Hong Kong Design Institute. The event covered a wide range of research topics and was first of its kind to compile the findings of so many Asian design industry practitioners and researchers. Research was focused around the three primary colours red, blue and yellow; later adding green; and completing the palette with black and white. Orange, gold and purple were also explored as subsets of the five basic colours, expanding the profile as research emerged. The curator believed that colour is a cultural construct and its meaning may vary from society to society. Integral to the process of building an Asian palette was the compilation of research reports and analysis from the 14 participating countries – including China/Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Middle East/Lebanon, Malaysia, The Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and Japan. The project actively encouraged pan-Asian collaboration with the long-term vision of supporting design development across the region in a borderless manner.

Project Title: Mac ProWinning Company: Apple, Inc. (USA)“This remarkable change of design could last another 10 years or even longer.” Tetsuyuki Hirano, Design for Asia Awards 2014 Judge Synopsis: It’s the most powerful yet radical Mac ever designed by Apple. Deliberate or not, there is no danger of mistaking this new Mac Pro for any of its predecessors. In terms of looks alone, it could not be more revolutionarily different. The central concept is that of a unified thermal core – all the parts are clustered around this. As a result, the design is “a much leaner, lighter, quieter and far more streamlined structure”. Standing at just 9.9 inches tall and 6.6 inches in diameter, it is easily accommodated on the desk of an average workstation. It has built-in Thunderbolt 2, USB 3, two Gigabit Ethernet ports and an HDMI port (support for the latest TVs, projectors, displays, including Ultra HD TVs), so users can build what they need around it.
