04/06/2010
The prize—a traineeship at Lindström’s design department and a scholarship worth EUR 5,000—has been won by young Finnish designer Kati Joki, a student at Lahti University Institute of Design.
Students from all over Europe and Asia took part in the competition, which is held every other year. Four of the finalists were Finns and one was a Czech student. Participants designed a workwear collection for the maintenance personnal of engineering services company KONE Corporation. Kati Joki was announced as the winner at a ceremony on Thursday, June 3.
According to the competition jury, her workwear collection emerged as the winner thanks to its functionality and approachability.
“The winning collection was very functional. We paid attention to the fact that it corresponded best with the judging criteria given in the assignment,” said the chairman of the jury, fashion design professor Mascha van Zijverden from ArtEZ, Arnhem School of the Arts.
The next Lindström Award competition will be held in 2012.
