Sleep 2015 Student Pinterest Competition

Published on 2nd October 2015

Sleep, the hotel design show, sets out to inspire and engage the next generation of architects and designers who will go on to create exceptional hotel spaces across the globe. As part of this mission, Sleep 2015 is organising a competition that explores the concept of ‘Wonder Tale’ in hotel guestroom design. The competition is for spatial design students and is about the preliminary stage of a design project, where a concept image is tremendously important in communicating the designer’s intent to clients and stakeholders.

Competition Brief

'Wonder Tale’ challenges design students to unleash their imaginations and create original concept
images for a hotel guestroom that draws on the essence of fairy tales and folklore from around the
world, weaving their own story which, just like a fairy tale, touches on the human condition while playing with perceptions and disrupting the norm to engage and nurture the guest in new ways. The full brief and submission details can be found on the Sleep website. The competition’s theme ties in with this year’s Sleep Set and Sleep Bar (in Association with Sleeper), two hugely inspirational and popular features which are created afresh each year at Sleep, challenging design companies to create built spaces that push boundaries and explore new ideas.

Technical Data

The competition is open to all architecture and interior design students in Europe.
Submissions are to consist of a maximum of five original and imaginative images produced by you and uploaded to your Pinterest page. Feel free to include a few words of descriptive text if it will help explain your images.
