Isa Buitenhuis (student Industrial Design at Technical University Delft) has won the Gold Award of the SMC BMC Design Award 2022. During the award ceremony at JEC World 2022 she presented the LightTurn, a new experience for seated showering targeted at elderly consumers, providing great ergonomics to the user, durability, low water usage and a wonderful design.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The theme of this year\u2019s edition of the SMC BMC Design Award was \u201cSustainable Living\u201d. It is the 3rd time the European Alliance for SMC BMC successfully organized the design competition. With the objective to find new applications for these versatile materials, students from design schools around Europe were invited to submit their projects.<\/p>\n

Isa Buitenhuis receiving the SMC BMC Design Award at JEC World 2022 from Joan Montobbio and Thomas Wegman of the European Alliance for SMC BMC.<\/em><\/p>\n

As winner of the SMC BMC Design Award Gold Award, Isa received a prize of 7,500 \u20ac in cash. In addition, she will receive support from the European Alliance Members to fine-tune her design for improving functionality and manufacturing ability, with the objective to help successfully introduce the LightTurn into the market.<\/p>\n

WINNING DESIGN<\/strong>
\nThe winning LightTurn design from Isa Buitenhuis combines a chair, shower head, interface and light system in one product. Traditional showering solutions for elderly consumers are visually unattractive and do not fit well in a private living environment. By creating a novel and durable solution in SMC, the LightTurn turns the moment of taking a shower in a more comfortable and enjoyable experience.
\nThrough using a modular design, parts can be exchanged over time enabling the initial shower tray to be converted into a seat. The integrated interactive display keeps track of showering time, hence minimizing water consumption.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me it was great to participate in the SMC BMC Design Award, and I am truly excited to win,\u201d comments Isa Buitenhuis. \u201cIt was a nice experience to learn more about SMC and to get the exposure to the Composites world. I was a bit nervous at the award ceremony, but this prize makes me feel very happy and does make me forget all the long hours I invested in the project.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Jury thought that Isa\u2019s design was highly creative and new, addressing true consumer needs\u201d, adds Joan Montobbio, President of the SMC BMC Alliance and Chairman of the Jury. \u201cWe thought the design was very complete and professionally presented, the solution is durable and therefore sustainable, and moreover, we envision it is feasible in SMC and can be successfully commercialized.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

SILVER AWARDS<\/strong>
\nAntje Verhellen and Boukje Adriaensen (Design students at Thomas More in Mechelen, Belgium) designed Sea-weeds floating garden solutions, enabling growth of food in urban areas on lakes and sea shores, using available space in an efficient way. These are floating platforms made from multiple SMC components, with an integrated system for desalination of sea water and powered by solar heat.<\/p>\n

Korneel Somers (student Industrial Design at TU Delft, Netherlands) designed the TileTurn Solar reflective sustainable roofing solutions. The BMC roofing tiles in his design proposal can turn black or white, and thus reflect or absorb solar energy dependent on season and external temperature. This enables to optimize energy generation inside the house, minimizing natural gas consumption.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE JURY<\/strong>
\nThe SMC BMC Design Award 2022 was focused on developing new ideas and product solutions for SMC and BMC in \u201cSustainable Living\u201d. The projects were reviewed in detail by an independent Jury against the key selection criteria: Creativity, End-user functionality, Sustainability, and Feasibility in SMC BMC.
\nThe Jury consisted of expert members from both the Design community and the Composites industry:
\n\u2022 Joan Montobbio<\/strong>, Jury Chairman, Managing Director of Menzolit Spain\/ Menzolit UK, President of European Alliance for SMC BMC
\n\u2022 Joachim Froment<\/strong>, Co-founder and Creative Director at FutureWave Design & Engineering
\n\u2022 Franck Glowacz<\/strong>, Editor-in-Chief of JEC Composites Magazine
\n\u2022 Andrea Ratti<\/strong>, Professor Composites Engineering and Design, Politecnico Milano, Italy
\n\u2022 Hubertus Rehermann<\/strong>, Retired from Daimler AG, Responsible for SMC Manufacturing and Technology Center<\/p>\n

DESIGN AWARD BACKGROUND<\/strong>
\nThe SMC BMC Design Award is the international design competition organized by the European Alliance for SMC BMC. This competition recognizes and promotes design excellence by Design students or Young Design professionals while using SMC and BMC advanced materials in their designs.<\/p>\n

The SMC BMC Design Award is intended to reinforce that SMC and BMC are innovative, versatile, cost effective and safe materials, used in products that make significant beneficial contributions to individual consumers and to society.
