Won the Grand Prix in Tokyo Business Design Award 2013 – Pipegram
January 29, 2014
It was a great honor to announce that my Pipegram's proposal had won the Grand Prix in the Tokyo Business Design Award 2013, a business design competition organized by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The purpose of the competition was to design and propose entire businesses through products, and it had the aspect of business matching small and medium-sized enterprises in Tokyo with designers who had a business perspective.
The pipe bending technology was already established for the company, the project was able to proceed without slowing down the development process after the competition.
東京都が主催するビジネスデザインコンペティション、東京ビジネスデザインアワード2013にてPipegramの提案が最優秀賞を受賞。このコンペは東京都にある中小企業とビジネス的な視点を持つデザイナーとを結びつけるマッチング事業という側面も持っています。
パイプの曲げ加工技術は企業にとっては確立されているものであり、コンペ終了後も開発のスピードを落とすことなくプロジェクトが進められることとなりました。
