Laptopskins.net is a nominee for the design award of the Federal Republic of Germany

After receiving an internationally renowned iF design award in 2008, laptopskins.net is a nominee nominee for the design award of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2010!

The Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany is the country‘s highest distinction in the field of design. It is known as the »Prize of Prizes«. The reason: no other design award sets such strict criteria on entries. Thus, a company can only enter the competition for the Design Award if its product has already been awarded a national or international design prize.

Another precondition for entry is that companies must have been nominated by the Ministries and Senators of the Federal States or by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology.

Wish me luck!

laptopskins.net wins iF communcation design award

i just received the mail that this year's jury considered laptopskins.net worth an iF communcation design award!

For over fifty years iF Industrie Forum Design e.V. has had its roots at the Hannover exhibition center. Launched in 1953 as the “Special Show for Well-designed Industrial Goods”, this registered association — as indicated by the German abbreviation “e.V.” — was expanded in 2001 to include a new operating arm: iF International Forum Design GmbH. This organization is now responsible for all iF business areas — above all for staging the renowned iF award competitions.

As an independent institution iF exercises a decisive mediating role between design and industry, fulfilling this function for many years now in an objective and reputable manner. This special capacity allows iF to make a significant contribution to the success of design services in an economic context as well as enhancing public awareness of the importance of design.

i got the idea for these new laptop skin designs when we were relaxing and drinking tea during our holidays on juist, where they have a special kind of tea that you drink with cream in it. dropping the cream into the tea made some really beautiful, art-nouveau-esque pattern that i really, really liked. so the next time around, i took pictures and made these amazing designs into a laptop skin. let me know how you like it! : )
