[DESIGN & INNOVATION CONTEST] LEROY MERLIN, in collaboration with LEMANOOSH and SOLAR IMPULSE, proudly presents the 1st edition of a new Design & Innovation Contest. As lifestyles evolve rapidly, Leroy Merlin recognizes the pivotal role of innovation in shaping our future. This new design contest invites participants to focus on "Saving energy" either through an Indoor Solar Lamp, a Ceiling Fan, or both! The winning products will feature "Designed by [Your Name]" on them, be sold across 140 stores, with the opportunity to join their design team through an internship and/or oversee the development from prototype to production. Oh, and did we mention it? The €1,500 prize for the winners + If the product can be made in large quantities, royalties will be paid! For everyone eager to design something great, let's get started right from our desks and shape the future!

Most young designers lose motivation to become highly creative because they spend their times sketching unexciting products with no meanings (your desk lamp, your iPhone…). In reality, entering the design studio that you love, relies on how well you can communicate your ideas, create concepts with form factors that can generate a wow effect, as well as developing a world-class creative process that allows you to open new doors.
