We've all done it—putting something off with the best intentions until that gentle, non-confrontational deadline you were ignoring is suddenly in your face, tapping your shoulder and demanding, "What are you gonna do about it? Huh? HUH?"

The March 15th, 8PM Eastern deadline to submit your work for consideration in the 2013 Core77 Design Awards has been extended to March 26th, 8PM Eastern. (Of course, we still encourage you to aim to enter by this Friday as entries we receive after the regular deadline will incur a 20% late fee.)
Why are we doing this? We want you to try harder. We don't want anyone to miss out on this wonderful opportunity. Besides, we've all been there.
Yes, everyone is busy, but now is the time to get your stuff together and tell this extended deadline, "I'm no slacker and I will not be pushed around!"

Core77 Design Awards | 12 Feb 2013
We are proud of the Internet-i-ness of our Design Awards Program: it's inclusive - 17 Categories, including the newest areas of creative practice; it's personal - entrants are encouraged to present their projects via video; it's international - with jury teams around the globe; and it breaks down communication barriers - results are announced live by the jury teams themselves.
When it came time to get all this across in the form of a printed promotional poster it was the genius of the guys at Zut Alors! to break it apart into the essential vernacular of the Internet—info-nuggets—and then mix in metaphor, discovery and some of those zany/beautiful moments that define the practice of design. The end artifact manages to merge form, subject and function, and does so with panache:
- Supple, its paper is CLASSIC CREST® Text SOLAR WHITE Supple Finish 100lb - from @neenahpaper
- Vivid, only 2 Colors: Black and PANTONE 802 - a NEON green that is irreproducible by today's computer display technologies
- Physical, 24 inches by 36 inches large and hails from Rhode Island
This is the last chance to get it—for free at least :)—and all you need to do is sign yourself up at our awards site. If, in true Internet fashion, you show your love for it/us/design by tweeting the hell out of our design awards program we'll get you a special limited-edition non-folded one!

FURNITURE & LIGHTING
Judging location: Paris, France
» Matali Crasset Jury Captain
Founder and Creative Director at Matali Crasset Productions
Matali Crasset is by training an industrial designer; a graduate of the Ateliers - E.N.S.C.I. (Workshops - National Higher School of Industrial Design). At the beginning of 2000, after her initial experience with Denis Santachiara in Italy and with Philippe Starck in France, she set up her own studio in Paris called Matali Crasset productions in a renovated former printing firm in the heart of Belleville. She considers design to be research, working from an off-centered position allowing both to serve daily routines and trace future scenarios. Her work revolves around searching for new coordination processes and formulating new logics in life. She defines this search as an accompaniment towards the contemporary.
Always in search of new territories to explore, she collaborates with eclectic worlds, from crafts to electronic music, from the textiles industry to fair trade, realizing projects in set design, furniture, architecture, graphics and collaborations with artists, young furniture-making companies, municipalities and communes. This experience acquired over the years has led her to currently work on more participative projects, on a local and global level, both in rural and urban settings. It's ultimately the core question of living together, which defines her imaginative designs, writings and the sense of Matali's work.

2012 has been an incredible year for design! We just wrapped up our season by shipping out 29 trophies around the world to our awards winners. The Core77 Design Awards celebrates the collaborative nature of the design process with our trophy—a mold designed by New York-based design studio Rich Brilliant Willing. Their approach was to design an artifact that could be employed in the creation of multiples, honoring the kind of group effort that designers and their clients engage in every day. As RBW explained, "We were inspired by a 'mold' as an image and symbol of manufacturing and design."
As part of this manufacturing story, we worked with our partners at Proto Labs to tell the story of creating this year's trophy. Working with the engineers at Proto Labs, each trophy is CNC-milled from a solid block of alumnium—we had boxes of trophies in our office within a week of submiting the final CAD files!
Here's the Proto Labs mill that made our trophies!

We have also considered puting it on Kickstarter, striving for good feedback. There are certain parts to consider before we can do that so keep an eye out!
What is one quick anecdote about your project?
Rooster was an unknown project under the theme "wearable sound." We initially started by strolling around public places , looking for the perfect users. Upon searching, we've met two street performers singing on the downtown street of San Francisco. They're Sam Johnson, and John Vicino. The show was very stunning and fantastic, it captures the attention from people around. However, with all those incompatible and heavy equipment, they're only able to perform in limited spots. We even barely discovered a tip jar since there are too many things laying around unorganized.
Through that, we intended to improve the experience for these performers through our product, making it possible to capture the moment, spread the musical culture, and create engagements between the performers and the audience.

Designed Obstacles Designer: Jonathan Spoerke
Location: Georgia Institute of Technology
Category: Consumer Products
Award: Student Notable
Designed Obstacles is a piece of modular parkour training equipment designed specifically for use in the gymnastics or other controlled training environment. The design uses a system of anchor boxes and bars to create a large, stable training structure which can be quickly setup, reconfigured, and disassembled. The primary structure consists of 4 boxes. Additional boxes and/or additional structures can be incorporated as your gym size and budget allows. The training structure is designed to make use of the mats and other safety equipment in the gym environment, augmenting the system and providing an infinite number of training scenarios.
How did you learn that you had been recognized by the jury?
I was watching the live stream on my computer at work. I had my headphones in so the people around me were a bit confused when I threw my arms up in excitement.
What's the latest news or development with your project?
My project has recieved a good deal of interest and positive feedback since I introduced it. I have a background in mechanical engineering as well as design so I have always been keen on making sure that the design could be manufactured. In my spare time I have been refining the design and am still evaluating how feasible it would be for me to bring the product to market.
What is one quick anecdote about your project?
One of the biggest questions I had to answer before I could introduce this design was 'will it work?' and the only way do that was to have people test it. I was pretty confident in my building skills but the user testing was still incredibly stressful. At one point, I remember looking up and seeing one of the participants about to jump from the highest platform onto a metal bar suspended between two of the shorter platforms. This was probably a good 4' jump and I my heart stopped waiting for the bar to fail catastrophically under him. It didn't. My family, who helped me with setup and take down, had a good laugh on the way home. The common sentiment was 'wow, I'm really glad that worked!'.
What was an "a-ha" moment from this project?
You know, because the design challenges presented by the massive impact forces and stability concerns were so important in terms of the success or failure of the design, there wasn't ever really an 'a-ha' moment in the early concept development. There was always a lingering 'yeah that looks good on paper....but it might fall over... or explode...etc.'. The 'a-ha' moment really didn't come until the user trials and I saw the prototype standing there in front of me with guys vaulting, climbing, and flipping on it. It felt great to see it work. It wasn't quite an 'a-ha', more of a 'ha- HA!....it works!"

- Communicaid
- Designer: Jae Pyung Lee
- Location: Academy of Art University
- Category: Consumer Products
- Award: Student Runner up
The Communicaid is a system that can facilitate communication between deaf and hearing people. It's designed for the people who were born deaf and didn't acquire language early or that have lost it in early childhood. Communicaid Visual Sound Station and Glasses are portable devices for indoor/outdoor use. It catches important sounds from the environment and alerts them visually. The Mobile Communicator is a handheld device that communicates with hearing people more efficiently and conveniently.
How did you learn that you had been recognized by the jury?
I was on my way to work when the judging came out. I couldn't watch the live stream on the bus so I was just checking my Facebook. A few minutes later, I noticed that my friend tagged me and posted "congratulations" on my wall. I was really surprised when I saw the Core77 Design Awards link. I arrived at work by that time and checked the website right away. I watched the video with my co-worker and after a while, they announced my name. I still remember that thrilling moment.
What's the latest news or development with your project?
My project has been featured not only on Core77 but also a few famous design blogs. I was surprised that many people actually contacted me for further information about Communicaid and to purchase the products by email, Facebook and even by phone. Currently, I am working with one of my deaf contacts to develop new deaf-friendly prototypes and to locate additional investments for possible production.
What is one quick anecdote about your project?
During the research phase, I was grocery shopping and I found a young man trying to help a customer who is hard-of-hearing. The young man kept asking him, "Is this the one? Or this one?" over and over again. A worker saw him but she just passed by. After trying but failing, he also left him behind. I couldn't just leave, so I approached him and tried to help. Finally, we found what he wanted, but it took a long time to communicate. That situation reminded me of my deaf cousin and I started to wonder, "Is there a more efficient way to communicate with hard of hearing people?"

- Haptic Intelligentsia
- Designer: Joong Han Lee
- Location: Design Academy Eindhoven
- Category: Interaction
- Award: Student Runner up
HAPTIC INTELLIGENTSIA is a human 3D printer that allows the user to tactually perceive the virtual object and to directly transform it into the physical. The user can freely move the extruding gun, which is attached to a haptic interface.
How did you learn that you had been recognized by the jury?
Ironically I was flying out of London, while the jury was announcing the results live in London. So, I had to wait to check if I made it until the plane landed. It was the longest one-hour flight...
What's the latest news or development with your project?
My project initially focused heavily on a systematic aspect, rather than the physical outcomes. So, I tried to avoid having the general public from getting too distracted by the product outcomes, and that's why I decided to keep the shape (a cylindrical vessel) as basic as possible. As I now have the system to experiment with, I am currently experimenting with different applications and I am working on a series of products that will be one-of-a-kind. At the moment, my machine is being exhibited at the Z33 exhibition 'The Machine - Design a new industrial revolution', in the city of Genk, Belgium.
What is one quick anecdote about your project?
I integrated the force feedback haptic device, which I tried out briefly during the 3D modeling workshop at my old uni back in the States 4-5 years ago. I immediately recalled the experience I had with the device and thought it would be great to experiment with it to realize my idea.
What was an "a-ha" moment from this project?
Rather than telling about my own, I would like to share many other "a-ha" moments from users who interacted with the machine for the first time. Since my project requires a tactile interaction, without the visual aid, people still wondered what exactly the project was about. But as soon as I let them "feel" the machine, I immediately saw a big smile on their faces.

- GiraDora: Safe Agua
- Designers: Alex Cabunoc & Ji A You
- Location: Designmatters at ACCD
- Category: Social Impact
- Award: Student Notable
GiraDora, a human-powered washer and spin dryer, increases the efficiency and improves the experience of hand-washing clothes for women living without access to running water. The user sits on the drum-like appliance and pumps the pedal with her foot, to agitate, clean, rinse, then spin-dry clothes. For under $40, GiraDora's comfortable and ergonomic operation more than doubles productivity, increases health, instills dignity, and affords opportunities to begin breaking the poverty cycle.
How did you learn that you had been recognized by the jury?
 I actually learned that the Core 77 results would be broadcast live via webcast. However the social impact webcast was at 4 a.m. pacific time, so at about 3:50 a.m. the morning of, I logged on and with bleary eyes watched as it was announced that we received a student notable. I believe I then texted my instructor and my partner and proceded to fall back asleep.
What's the latest news or development with your project?
Our most recent prototype has been undergoing field-testing in Santiago, Chile and we are getting some very positive feedback. In addition, we just recently learned that we had been awarded an NCIIA E Team grant which gives us nearly $20,000 dollars worth of funding for continued research and development. With this money, we have planned at least two more research trips coming up in the next year as well as two more iterations of prototypes. By summer of 2013, we hope to be in a place where we can begin a pilot rollout of GiraDora coupled with our innovative business plan which allows an individual to potentially earn additional income from up to 3 different revenue streams through the use, rental and sales of GiraDora units.Â
What is one quick anecdote about your project?
GiraDora is more than just a device that cleans clothes. Every part of it has been designed with the hopes of improving the lives of the women who would use it, from getting the women off the ground into a more comfortable seated position, to reducing the amount of water usage, to providing them with an opportunity to earn supplemental income and begin to break the cycle of poverty. We know that GiraDora cannot solve the burden of water poverty, but perhaps one day it can give someone the needed advantage to solve it for themselves.
What was an "a-ha" moment from this project?
One of the biggest "a-ha" moments for this project came from our process of co-creation, working directly with the women of Cerro Verde, the slum community where we conducted our initial field research. When we sent early prototypes back to the community, we originally sent both a washing prototype and a spin-drying prototype. However, it wasn't too long before the women saw that combining the function of a washing device and a spin-drying device into one unit created the most value for the user. They took our early prototype and with some ad-hoc alterations in the field, created a rudimentary washer and spin-dryer. Although it was crude, we too immediately saw the value and potential of such a device and changed our design direction to this new goal of combining the two devices into one.

Pulse is an analog device capable of displaying information obtained online. Pulse is meant to be hung on a wall in your living room or kitchen, where it will constantly keep you up to date on whatever information feed you connect it to. By tilting Pulse you are able to switch between three different information feeds of your choice, all of which are easily programmed by pairing the device with its online platform.
How did you learn that you had been recognized by the jury?
We we're both out and about traveling in France and Interning in Spain when we got the Email from the crew at Core77 (Sarah), so It took us a while to get back home and actually realize our project was recognized by the jury. Jon read it first since we applied with his account, so we ended up having a little celebration over Skype with Beer in Seville and Kölsch in Cologne.Â
What's the latest news or development with your project?
Since we applied for the award with some concept renders we have had the time to further develop the idea into a working prototype. It's been a pretty bumpy road with quite a lot of mechanical difficulties and many nights in the RISD workshops, but we managed to overcome almost all of them and we now have a working prototype that shows us a weather feed via the Google weather service. We are planning to build an online platform and make it open source so users can easily create and share their own feeds for Pulse and hopefully one day when we iron out all the details get it onto Kickstarter.
What is one quick anecdote about your project?
Jon can't code and Christian hates electronics. Maybe that's why it took us almost three months and 13 servo motors (We burnt 7 motors by wiring them up back to front) to get Pulse just right. All jokes aside we couldn't have don't it without the Gadgeteer electronics prototyping platform and the help of Prof. Andy Law and Nic Villar from Microsoft Research. We're just better at bending aluminum and turning parts on the lathe.
What was an "a-ha" moment from this project?
We were trying to figure out how to avoid any buttons on Pulse so we could keep it as simple and pure an interaction with the information as possible, yet we still wanted to have three different modes for the user to switch between. We were stuck for quite some time until one of us standing in front of an early prototype started playing with it by twisting it on the wall - we both looked at each other and went A-HA!. Really.

- Dancing What You Can't See
Designer: Sarah Handelman- Location: The London College of Communication
- Category: Writing & Commentary
- Award: Student Runner up
This essay explores the current function and potential of dance notation systems. As complex systems of documenting ballet, most dance notation is unreadable, even to the professional ballerinas who perform the parts. The piece bridges an academic tone with personal anecdote. It employs footnotes and images to convey the notation's nuance and complexity.
How did you learn that you had been recognized by the jury?
The Tuesday the awards were announced, I tuned in to watch! I live in London, and it was already evening there, so I was making dinner when I heard Alice call out my name. What a lovely surprise!
What's the latest news or development with your project?
I am currently looking for a good home -- a design magazine or journal -- for a version of this piece to live. During my masters, this was one of the first big projects I started on ballet, and it fed directly into my research and dissertation (which argues to expand the form and content of ballet reviews), and this research informs much of my professional work. In other words, although the project hasn't been officially published, it drives most of what I do.
What is one quick anecdote about your project?
Many of my favorite anecdotes ended up finding their way into the essay's narrative, but for me, the best moments were when I sat down with a new piece of notation that depicted a ballet I had learned from my teacher years before. The notation wasn't something I recognized, yet the ballet was a dance I knew by heart. I was speechless the first time I really got to dive into a notated ballet—I didn't recognize any of the symbols. I couldn't imagine how I'd learn a dance from a piece of paper like that. But the disconnect between the page and the dancer was also quite an ephemeral idea I felt really compelled to explore.
What was an "a-ha" moment from this project?
While I was learning about dance notation and researching ballet's academic history, every moment had it's own little fact or moment that surprised me. My biggest a-ha moment was when I watched a Royal Ballet rehearsal of the classic ballet Giselle. Afterwards, I found the notation and could finally visualize movement. As ballets get older, I think we'll find that we have to carefully balance their preservation with their strong oral tradition. I definitely learned that notation is a terrific tool for preservation, but its usefulness to present dancer (many of whom don't know the written language) could be challenged.

This was an academic research project for a capstone MBA class called 'Design in Management: Concepts, Methods of Practice and Products' at the Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western Reserve University. It addresses the area of patient experience and was a joint collaboration between Weatherhead and the Office of Patient Experience at Cleveland Clinic. Out of the many dimensions and moments of patient experience, our project focused on the issue of doctor-to-patient interaction during the discharge phase.
How did you learn that you had been recognized by the jury?
I received an email a few days before the deliberation stating that the announcement was going to be made online.
What's the latest news or development with your project?
It was an academic research project so the formal engagement ended when the project finished. However, it has laid the groundwork for further collaboration between the Weatherhead School of Management (Case Western Reserve University) and several of the major healthcare institutions in the Greater Cleveland area.
What is one quick anecdote about your project?
We heard a patient complaining about the way her doctor was communicating with her. She said he was addressing her in a condescending and arrogant way. When we asked a staff member if anything will be done to address this patient's concerns, he stated that sharing this information with that doctor is a tricky issue. That specific doctor is a world-class doctor and at the Clinic for a reason. So, there is this interesting situation: the Clinic wants to become more patient-centric yet the realities of day-to-day interactions is not quite patient-centric. A very blatant example of this is that there are numerous signs in the parking garage that display "patient first," yet the doctors have the closest parking spots to the buildings while patients coming from near and far must struggle to find a remote parking spot.
What was an "a-ha" moment from this project?
There were two distinct "a-ha" moments. The first is the realization that there are multiple ways to interpret "healthcare innovation" and every healthcare institution will more or less emphasize one of the following: quality & safety innovation, biomedical research innovation, devices & technological innovation, or service innovation. By mapping out the kinds of innovations in healthcare, we were able to strategical position Cleveland Clinic compared to other institutions. This allowed us to reinforce progress at the Clinic as well as point out areas for improvement. The second "a-ha" moment was the realization that the discharge, or leave-taking experience, is essentially a moment of transition. This particular type of transition has elements that are unique to Cleveland Clinic but also something almost universal that applies to all healthcare experiences. By pointing out the near-universal moments of frustration as well as opportunities for development, the potential for design application and impact became clearly apparent—it provided a way for the project to become relevant to a larger audience and avoid being a one-off initiative in an isolated organization.

The Strong Arm is a device that makes lifting packages and materials easier and safer. Designed for materials handlers, the ergonomically designed Strong Arm reduces risk and fatigue when lifting materials at a factory, delivering packages or carrying a variety of loads.
How did you learn that you had been recognized by the jury?
We were in transit from a field test when the awards were announced. We happened to be in unable to get service on our phones for the broadcast but when we arrived back on the east coast after the 20 hour drive we received the email with the news. We were exhausted but had enough in us to for a celebratory high five.
What's the latest news or development with your project?
Our latest developments are that we have been excepted into the Mass Challenge exellerator program in Boston. Which is an unbelievable environment to make a business out of Strong Arm Technologies, Inc. We are developing new products on the side from input we have been receiving from our field test partners. We are incredibly excited that this project has thrown us into the entrepreneurial world full speed and we are really taking on what ever life is throwing at us.
What is one quick anecdote about your project?
Strong Arm is a proven concept that has the potential to have a profound effect on industry. Our newly formed company will continue to develop real products with real human impact.
What was an "a-ha" moment from this project?
The "a-ha" moment was when we realized that not only are we making objects easier to lift but we are placing people in the correct posture. This revealed gigantic market opportunities for the product as $150 Billion is spent every year in compensating injuries from workers lifting incorrectly.

The E-Z RISE walker is a medical walker for senior citizens. It addresses the key issues that seniors face when attempting to stand up and get out of their seat. The EZ-RISE walker uses simple ergonomic touch points as well as leverage to provide a safe and effective way for senior citizens to stand.
How did you learn that you had been recognized by the jury?
At the time of the announcement of the "Strategy and Research" winners, I was out of town with no access to the Internet. Upon my return, I immediately logged on to the Core77 Design Awards page and began browsing the different categories, curious to learn a little about each entry. When I reached the strategy and research section, I quickly glanced over all the entries and saw my project amongst the winners. I proceeded to watch Lorraine Justice's video announcement to hear some of the jury's feedback. I felt honored to be recognized along with all the other great student and professional entries.
What's the latest news or development with your project?
Currently, I am seeking out design and engineering professionals in the medical equipment industry for additional feedback. Based on all the positive feedback from my interviewees as well as the Core77 Strategy and Research Jury, I want to finalize the project. I would like to hear from those in the industry about how the walker could be taken from a prototype to an actual product that could be used by senior citizens. From there it would be back to the drawing board to work out the final details and if possible, find a way to get the E-Z Rise Walker to market.Â
What is one quick anecdote about your project?
One of the more awkward, but nonetheless enjoyable parts of this project came after my very first meeting with my professor after I had chosen to pursue a walker redesign. She asked me if I had ever used a walker; I responded that I had not. My professor promptly told me to take the rest of my studio time (and the rest of the evening), and start using a walker. So I proceeded to hit the streets of Chicago with my grandpa's old bi-fold walker. Half the people I encountered thought I was crazy; the other half kindly held doors or slowed down as I passed by. As I struggled to navigate stairs, open doors, and use the elevator, I began to get frustrated. When I proceeded to get stuck in a turnstile trying to make my way to the train, I felt ridiculous, but realized that the world is a lot different when you need a walker just to get around. This initial exercise, as awkward as it felt, helped me as the designer put myself in the users shoes. It helped me understand the product and the potential for a redesign.Â
What was an "a-ha" moment from this project?
In any design project I work on, I feel that the "a-ha" moment comes when a well thought out idea receives praise and approval from those who either use or work with the product on a daily basis. In my case that began with a few interviews with senior citizens and countless amounts of doodles photos, and post-it notes tacked to the wall of our studio space at UIC. With all that information narrowed down to the early stages of what would eventually become the "E-Z Rise Walker," I met with physical therapists at the Veterans hospital. While talking with one physical therapist about issues surrounding the walker, I pulled out a quick sketch I had made explaining a "walker that assists you in getting out of your seat." What followed was the "a-ha" moment that makes design worth all the hard work; the physical therapist smiled and went into a long discussion of all the issues and injuries surrounding seniors standing up using their walker. She concluded by confirming with her colleagues that this was the right path to head down and that this could be a potential solution.Â
