10 EVENTS AND EXHIBITIONS << Continued from page 9 The University of Johannesburg scoops the prize of ‘Most promising institute’. Badenhorst said the judges commended all the entrants for the great innovation they showed in designing within minimal spaces, and for the brilliant mix of materials and finishes used. “It was incredible to see the consideration that went into rethinking the functionality and the use of a public restroom. The designs were all of a very high standard.” Sharp said Naudé’s entry was a timeless and simple copper shower design, while Tshabalala’s urinal design (which required a lot of research) was well executed and presented. “The runner-up designs were also very impressive. Gibbens designed a hands-free tap with a smart mirror, which we thought perfectly summed up what a public restroom experience should be: easy, quick and hands-free. The grey water system designed by Roxanne Ilbury and Ingrid Jones impressed us with its beautiful minimal, yet trendy design.” The Salone del Mobile Milano Trade Fair is one of the world’s best design trade fairs. “There will be great networking opportunities for our winners and, of course, they’re going to see first-hand the standard of work being produced on the international stage,” Badenhorst says. The runners-up and the University of Johannesburg each won R10 000. PA ISSN 1812 - 1705 DECEMBER 2015 VOL 21 NO. 10 DIRECTORY December 2015 Vol 21 No.10 It’s Directory season again!
