In just its sixth year, the K-Design Award does something unusually brilliant in the fact that it sets its sight on design thinking, rather than just the final output… rewarding creativity first and then execution. In doing so, it sets the correct precedent by encouraging outstanding ideas that will live on longer than the products that embody them. Having been initiated in the year 2012, the K-Design looked to reward good design that was backed by a strong concept. Past winners of the K-Design award include everybody from independent designers, to students, to even the likes of large studios and companies like Dell, Elago, LG, etc… and this year you could join those ranks too! The K-Design Award, now in its 2018 leg, is accepting entries (within the Industrial Design and Space Design categories) from all over the world, to create a map of winning ideas that will disrupt 2018 and the years ahead. Don’t believe me? Scroll down to take a look at our favorite winners from the year gone

Now correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve never seen a BBC Documentary talking about the octopus’s obsession with oranges. However, that shouldn’t stop your imagination from running, now should it? OTOTO’s Octo is probably the world’s first and only citrus-friendly sea creature. Its shape is designed to resemble the octopus’ eight-tentacled form, but at the same time, it’s perfect for gripping, and also for juicing, allowing you to use its organic tentacular base to squeeze fresh juice out of all citrus-based fruits, from oranges to limes, to the occasional grapefruit. OTOTO’s products always embody a certain familiar friendliness. Designed to be appealing to the child in you, the Octo, and all of OTOTO’s products possess a storytelling quality, connecting form and even sometimes name to something out of our imagination, letting you build complex wonderlands by just owning and using their products. Great job, OTOTO! You’ve won our hearts again! Designer: Almond Studio for OTOTO

The all-white-everything kitchen—subway tile, traditional marble and white flat-panel cabinets—is stylistically pretty inoffensive, which might be why it has proliferated in recent years. We're not mad that glossy cherry wood or yellowed oak cabinetry have taken a back seat to this crisp, clean look, but the pot is being stirred, people, and wood is making its way back into cookspaces again. This time, though, the rules are very different and about as au naturel as it gets. Just ask Sophie Donelson, Editor-in-Chief of House Beautiful . "This is very specific, but I'm seeing more and more 'bare wood' kitchen cabinetry—pale or cerused wood, finished naturally, not lacquered," says Donelson. "It combines the freshness and homey feel of the ubiquitous white painted cabinet with the warmth of exposed plank-wood shelves that have been trending hard lately." Oh yes, yes, it does. And it's the stuff that Pinterest dreams are made of. READ MORE » Apar
