Introduction

On January 26, the second edition of the One Day Design Challenge was held in Poland within the 4DesignDays. This year, a record was broken in the number of participants with more than 150.

For this occasion, the challenge was to design a restroom for a store. The proposal had to take into account that the dimension of a store can vary, and the proposal should contribute to the experience of the customers in the store!

Designed by Wioleta Petynia and Aryna Muha, "Mobi Egg " was the first prize winning proposal. The project consists on an oval shape restroom that can match all kinds of interiors. "Shelf Box" designed by Patrycja Pokrzywa and Paulina Olszowy was the winner of the second prize. The jury highlighted that the idea is an innovative combination of two different functions in one place: the toilet and the sales process with the integration of good’s display in the toilet construction. The third prize was for Agnieszka Kornaś and Aleksandra Oleniacz for “Flex System”, a modular system that can be used depending on the needs and spatial possibilities. And the We Are Water Foundation prize was for Aleksandra Hajdon and Emila Migas for their project “Aware”, because of its special focus on sustainability.

The jury was made up of Agnieszka Kaczmarska, president of Polish Architects Association in Katowice (SARP in Katowice); Jerzy Wuttke, author of many projects with a specialization in design, interior design, the art of exhibition and also educational programs; Krzysztof Chróścielewski, head of the department of new product development in Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź.; Robert Konieczny, a leader and a founder of KWK Promes architecture studio; and Joanna Dec-Galuk, Product and Marketing department Manager at Roca Poland.
