Ceramika Paradyż, as a pioneer in the production of TRI-D large-format sinters, is distinguished from other companies by its use of innovative technology, which allows to achieve the effect of colorful "veins" across the board. The various structures of the sinters, which mimic natural raw material, open up unlimited design possibilities, ranging from classic to modern minimalism. This year, TRI-D's collections were recognized by industry experts in the EU Pearls of Ceramics competition, as outstanding in the market in terms of design and quality, and best in line with global trends.
And it is this beautiful and functional material that is the subject of the contest participants' designs. The main task is to design a space or product in the form of 3D graphics using TRI-D large-format sinters for the competition or to submit a previously made or realized project. A given visualization can be submitted to several categories if it meets certain requirements.
