Blum sponsor the Innovation awards at kbb Birmingham 2022
A
s in previous years, Blum are delighted to confirm that they will again be sponsoring the innovation awards at kbb Birmingham 2022. The awards will be judged at the show, by a panel of six judges:
• Amanda Hughes - Architect & Interior Design Liaison at Blum,
• Richard Hibbert - KBSA Chairperson, • Lindsey Rendall - BIID President,
• Katrina Burroughs - Design Journalist for The Times, • Andy Davies - Managing Editor of kbbReview
• Andy Bishop - Creative Director of kbb Birmingham.
Amanda comments that she will be looking for real innovations, which cover several key issues, that are important to the whole industry. First of her key topics is sustainability - but combined with a credible offer. Sustainability is a very relevant subject at the moment, and the judges all hope to see some really innovative products for this category.
Alongside sustainability are other important considerations in the judging process. Manufacturers should try and address the issues around small living spaces, where Quality of Living is such an important consideration. End users should be considered at every stage of the manufacturing/retailer process.
Amanda also sees a gap in the market to cater for multiple needs for multiple users. Many homes now include three or even four generations, and with smaller space available, multi-purpose originality will help minimise overcrowding.
The judges will create a shortlist of 10 products that will be displayed in a gallery built at the kbb event in March. There are 3 final awards: The Judges’ overall winner, the Sustainability winner and the People’s Choice, which is voted for onsite by kbb visitors.
These 3 winners will be announced at the event on Tuesday 8th March.
