DIY Kyoto, Wattson Energy Monitor Design Competition
Working from the original wattson design template, applicants’ designs will be judged by a high-profile judging panel, including the Head of Creative at Selfridges, and Wallpaper Magazine’s Art and Design Editor, jotta Editor Millie Ross and Max Fraser of the London Design Guide.
The competition will give applicants a platform for their work to be seen by influential figures from the art and design world, and the winning design will be made into a limited edition version of the Wattson, which will be stocked in Wattson’s retail outlets nationwide.
Green technology experts and independent design collective DIY Kyoto was established in 2005 by three RCA graduates: Greta Corke (Interaction Design), Jon Sawdon Smith (Industrial Design) and Richard Woods (Industrial Design). They presented the worldwide launch of their inaugural product at the Milan Salone del Mobile in 2006 and the first ever Wattson 01 previewed at the Milan Salone del Mobile 2007.
The Wattson is a designer energy monitor which has been proven to help households save up to 20% on their electricity bill, an average annual saving of approx. £280. It’s simple operation, smart design(“I Am Gorgeous” is his tagline), and renewable energy have garnered Wattson a huge amount of praise in the design and eco realms, helping people understand and control their personal impact on the environment.
