Boundless (DFAA 2024 - Grand Award)

【Judges’ Comments | DFA Design for Asia Awards 2024 - Grand Award Series】

DFA Design for Asia Awards 2024 Grand Awards were conferred to 10 winners this year. Let’s view our international judges’ comments to the winning projects!

Winning project:
Boundless
Rhys Workshop Limited / Hong Kong

Judge’s Comment:
“This project addresses a crucial challenge facing Asia’s ageing population: how to enhance quality of life for the elderly while preserving their dignity. The design is impressive not only for its functionality but also for its human-centred approach. For instance, the apron’s easy-to-wear system allows seniors to put it on without assistance, and its foldable pocket catches food spills, making it highly practical. What sets it apart is how it fuses functionality with fashion, allowing the elderly to wear something both useful and dignified, without feeling self-conscious in public.

The matching sets for grandparents and grandchildren add a playful and inclusive element, making the product both stylish and fun for families. The design shows that through thoughtful, human-centric problem-solving, designers can make a tangible difference, enriching lives and bringing vitality to the elderly.” - Donald CHOI, Executive Director and CEO, Chinachem Group

【評審點評 | DFA亞洲最具影響力設計獎 2024 - 大獎系列】

今年DFA亞洲最具影響力設計獎一共評選出10個大獎，立即觀看國際評審對得獎作品的評語！

得獎作品：
Boundless
睿程製作社有限公司 / 香港

評審觀點：
「面對亞洲老齡化人口問題，這項目回應了其中一個重要挑戰：如何提升長者生活質素，同時維持他們的尊嚴。除了功能性設計，其以人為本理念亦是它令人印象深刻的原因。例如圍裙的簡易穿戴設計，使長者無需別人幫助即可自己穿上，用以承接食物殘渣的可折疊口袋亦非常實用。功能性與時尚結合，使長者能夠穿著體面的實用性飾物，避免在公共場合感到不自在。
爺孫套裝的巧思，亦為設計增添一份趣味的包容性元素，為家庭帶來一個時尚又玩味十足的產品。這設計印證通過深思熟慮、以人為本的解決方案，設計師能夠實實在在改善生活，為長者的日常生活添上活力。」- 蔡宏興, 華懋集團執行董事兼行政總裁
