Thank you to all those who entered, we had a tough time selecting the finalists, and we hope you keep an eye out for more opportunities in future.
After all the entries were considered, 3 designs were judged based on a balance of creativity, feasibility and market potential.
The designers spent 5 days at Kenya Lighting Industries, refining their designs and learning about industrial manufacturing methods such as laser cutting, CNC punching and electrostatic powder coating.
The designs were then manufactured and launched at Nairobi Design Week 2020.
The final production prototypes were then left on site at 209 Statehouse Road in order to serve the community in the long term.
The designs will also be made commercially available, providing a key link between industry and Afrikan design talent. Sorry for the mic at the beginning of the call, audio gets better!
