Breakthrough: The team from Silo Design accept their award last night
Last night the TEDxAmsterdam team sat in amid a swirl of funky sneakers and black-rimmed glasses to attend the annual European Design Awards, which this year were held in Rotterdam.
The awards were the culmination of the 3-day European Design Festival, which celebrates stellar design and creative from around the continent. Delegates get the opportunity to share cases studies, critique, network, and ultimately – let their hair down for a fun awards ceremony that began in the Rotterdam City Hall with an address by the Mayor. Suitably plied with alcohol, the raucous crowd (would you expect it any other way in the creative community?) sat through a lively event, each agency seemingly trying to outdo the last for outlandish award acceptance antics.
The TEDxAmsterdam book, Breakthrough, was initiated and designed by our creative agency Silo, and published and edited by Elise de Bres at VLDB. It faced some stiff competition, but ultimately came up trumps with a Gold Prize in the Publications category.
Designed as a momento for last year’s event, the first major event for TEDx in Europe, it brings together unique design and binding elements to make a very special souvenier of our debut event. It’s still available to buy at the ABC bookstore, although at last count stocks were depleting fast.
We congratulate and thank everyone who worked on the project!
