Roca presents the International Design Contest Jump the Gap's at 100% Design London 2009

Jump The Gap

At the forthcoming edition of 100% Design London, Roca will be presenting an original and unusual stand that shows the ten best proposals received for "Jump the Gap", the international design contest organised by the company. The booth will be built by Héctor Serrano, the creator of Waterdrop, the tribute to water presented by Roca at last year's fair. "Jump the Gap" has fast become a leading event in the international design contest calendar, mainly due to the large number of participating countries, 54 in this latest round, and for the high quality of entries received. The projects put forward innovative solutions for the future; "jumping the gap" between the present and the future, inviting us to move into tomorrow's world with new products, new spaces or new uses and functions. 

100% Design London, the event that brings the design community together, is the ideal scenario for presenting these proposals and inviting visitors to interact with them. The prize for the winning design will be presented by John Pawson, president of the judging panel, at the next edition of the fair in September this year.
