SUN presents SUN.LAB FOR A CREATIVE OUTDOOR, an international competition for young designers, a stepping-stone dedicated to design talents.

For 27 years, SUN, the International Exhibition of Outdoor Products. Design, Furnishing, Accessories (www.sungiosun.it), has been the world reference show of the outdoor sector – from the idea to the prototype, from the project to the product, from the academic to the business world, from design to the market.
2008 edition: 12 halls, a 90,000 sq. m. exhibiting surface, 700 exhibitors, 24,000 professional visitors from 52 countries, 10 shows/events, 150 journalists, 1,000 press articles.

SUNLAB is a free space for research and experimentation organized by SUN to promote the emerging of new proposals, innovative designs, and new ways to conceive life in the open. SUNLAB 2009 will host to the best suggestions of Italian and foreign designers under 35 and of students of the main European universities, capable to create experimental scenarios, brand new concepts, and top-level designs that are not yet being manufactured.
An overview of prototypes expressing the growing wish to rediscover the pleasure of using open spaces, a renewed approach to nature, a strong desire to take control of one’s free time. The competition is aimed at creating a display of product prototypes and concepts conceived by young designers for the outdoor world. An event that is meant as a link between creative talents and the sector’s companies.

Next date of SUN: October, 8-10, 2009 – Rimini Expo Center – Italy.
