INDEX: AWARD EXHIBITION 21 August - 13 September 2009 INDEX: AWARD EXHIBITION is a recurring, world-touring exhibition, which presents the finalists for the INDEX: AWARD. The exhibition offers an exciting, amazing and visionary insight into the solutions created by designers to improve life for people around the world. INDEX: AWARD EXHIBITION 2009 premieres on 21 August 2009 at Kongens Nytorv in Copenhagen.
Awaited by residents and regular visitors to Copenhagen alike, this biennial display in the city’s landmark Kongens Nytorv (King’s Square) features now-iconic clear “bubble” pedestals for the 72 finalists in the competition for the coveted INDEX:Award, the world’s largest prize for design (500,000 euros). The finalists were chosen from an original field of 720 nominated designs from 54 countries, and it is from this pool of carefully chosen innovation and design that the five winners – in the INDEX:Award categories of Body, Home, Work, Playful Learning, and Community – are chosen by the international jury of experts. As the Exhibition opens on the square, the People’s Choice Award also is inaugurated, an invitation to the public to consider what Design to Improve Life offers the most pertinent impact on their own or others’ quality of life. Following this debut showing, the INDEX:Award 2009 Exhibition is scheduled to tour both nationally in Denmark and internationally, carrying the message that Design to Improve Life is Denmark’s INDEX: to a better world.
