〜 Sangetsu Wallpaper Design Awards 2018 〜
Entry Guidelines
Sangetsu provides interior decorating materials for various spa ces, such as homes, commercialfacilities, offices, hotels and medical care and welfare facilities in order to share with people the joyof designing spaces.
We do not just supply interior decorating materials. We design to bring joy and comfort to thespace. This is the idea that underlies the role of the Sangetsu Cor poration in the society, and wehave strived to create a rich lifestyle and culture under the brand concept of the “Joy of Design.”Last year as part of our corporate activities, we held our first competition: the “Sangetsu Wallpaper DesignAwards 2017”, and received many entries.
Thanks to all works that were submitted, we felt that there are still many more wallcovering possibilities andtherefore decided to hold the “Sangetsu Wallpaper Design Awards 2018” this year as well.
［Theme］

Theme: Joy of Design
What exactly is a wallcovering that inspires feelings or evokes a sensitivity in people to create a new space orto use that space to impart joy and excitement?
Hospital rooms that brighten and lift people's mood, hotels that are memorable, classrooms that encourage
active communication, offices that boost work productivity, restaurants that bring in repeat customers andhomes that encourage a richer life.
One wallcovering can not only create a sense of comfort but even alter the expressions of people.
Wallcoverings have a powerful role in interior design.
Of course we are looking for product designs with beauty and functionality. We are also seeking fresh ideas
and designs that people can freely enjoy, or with that potential for those who create spaces as well as those
who spend time in them.
We invite you to work with Sangetsu to create the value of new designs.
