TABU Spa, located in Cantù, is accepting entries to the sixth Ideas 4 Wood 2023/2024 international ideas design contest, for university students and designers regardless of age.

  
Ideas 4 Wood is aimed at the design of geometric, organic or combined decorations according to multilaminar wood veneers, industrial inlays, three-dimensional surfaces, surfaces for state-of-the-art boiserie or wooden floors. A total of 15,000 Euro will be awarded to the best entries across all competition categories!

If a group includes both students and professionals, the group will fall into the Professionals Category. Each participant, as individual as well as group, is permitted to submit up to a maximum of 2 projects.

  
Tips:

  
– When devising an inlay, even starting from simple shapes (e.g., those born from imitating nature such as waves, stones, etc.) or elementary geometric shapes, it is advisable to creatively INTERPRET them into textures.

  
– If in doubt, you can ask for a FEASIBILITY OPINION regarding the idea you wish to submit (multi-laminate wood, inlay, 3D surfaces, wood wallpaper, flooring, furniture)
