Through the competition entitled ‘Cultural Relevance of an
International Brand in the Middle East’, Helwan students were
assigned to develop a home spa using the GROHE GRANDERA® Warm
Sunset range. Students had the chance to exchange ideas, design and
develop a project with the help of experts from GROHE to generate
progressive contemporary design ideas.
After weeks of interaction and discussion, the panel of judges selected three students to receive a prestigious summer internship at various locations of GROHE, all expenses paid for as the grand prize.
Award winning designer, Michael Seum, Vice president of Design at GROHE AG, highlighted the fact that young designers have huge impact on shifting the design trends: “In an increasingly dynamic world, uprising designers are often agents of change. I congratulate the young designers of Helwan University who were able to creatively balance different elements in their concepts with GROHE product ranges and asserting their confidence to present new perspectives aligned with users’ needs and requirements. “
Dr. Georges Nubar, Dean of Faculty of Applied Arts, Helwan University commented: “We would like to thank GROHE for choosing to collaborate with our university to bring the first Design Series. The competition allowed our students to use their university knowledge for a commercial context while experiencing real world situations and competing for internationally recognised internships.”
GROHE Design Series competition was designed to provide students with real world issues that engage and challenge them to maximise their individual talents and capabilities to succeed as young design professionals in and beyond their schooling.
