I believe the briefing and the challenge is very good for students to try and to see if we can design something that a company wants. And I believe it is a good project for a portfolio. I hope that you will also try to make a project and take part in the Glassberries...

I am very happy because it means so much to the university. I was a little bit nervous on the presentation so I didn’t say everything that I wanted to talk …I think emotion wins and experience.

We have made one prototype because we wanted to test it in real life, to see how it adapts to the hand, to see if it is useful. The fact of being able to talk to professionals really brings us knowledge. Every competition is an opportunity, you never know. Don’t...

RTDs, ready to drink, this was the briefing this year, and, yeah, we focused on this citrus drink, and that’s how our project was made. It was for sure exciting. You know… the process was quite long but also it was a really creative journey. We learned a lot...

When we heard about this contest, we were very excited! I believe it’s different from everything we ever made as designers. We had never worked with glass and was very challenging but very interesting. I think it’s an amazing opportunity. This can motivate...

I think this is one of the most important things when you are in the university. I think, especially when you are a designer, you need this to prove your value. Prove to people that you can do something that others will enjoy, and then you have more opportunities for...

All this experience started in 2018, when I participated in the Glassberries Design Awards 2018, while I was at the University studying Industrial Design, and I was one of the finalists of that Award edition. And at that moment I knew what I wanted for my professional...

The experience of being part of the Glassberries Design Awards has become the start of my professional career as a designer and an extraordinary opportunity to share my potential and ideas. As a student, I had the chance to share my design with other students and...

These competitions, when done professionally, are excellent for students, because they get the students and the design schools to think on many levels. One is realism: they actually got to design something for industrial design production. The second part is that they...

We could not believe it! When all the prizes were already given we thought: well, there are two options: they forgot about us or…okay, we are the winners! Even in this situation, we could not believe that we were about to win the Golden Glassberry. We were...

Winning the Glassberriess Design Awards was a great surprise and a big and beautiful experience for us. Being appreciated by such a large company, that deals with production on such an enormous scale is crucial, especially for the young designers as we are. During our...

The Glassberries Design Awards was perhaps one of the best things that ever happened to me in life. I participated in the contest with the aim of challenging myself and doing something I had never done before; but never, in any circumstance, did I imagine that I could...

Who said that winning is not painful? Seeing 11 prizes being given out before ours is painful, extremely painful, but having our work being recognised by a company just as big and enhanced as BA Vidro is a great feeling of pride and self-accomplishment. Everything...

Since the beginning that the course Degree in Design from Universidade de Aveiro has dedicated its last year to the relation between the social and economic fabric, observing the implicit constraints. The collaboration with Barbosa e Almeida, through the Glassberries...

It is absolutely overwhelming when you hear your name as being the first-prize winner to such a magnificent award, as Glassberries Awards is. Seeing your work being recognized by a company, within the glass industry and an international icon, such as BA, is beyond any...
