Dezeen, Villeroy & Boch and Ideal Standard launch Shaping Water Competition

Dezeen, Villeroy & Boch and Ideal Standard launch Shaping Water Competition

Dezeen has teamed up with Villeroy & Boch and Ideal Standard to challenge architects and designers to create an installation celebrating the essence of water for Clerkenwell Design Week.

The Shaping Water Competition tasks entrants with creating a large-scale installation for St John's Gate, a prominent historic location in the heart of Clerkenwell, London, during this year's Clerkenwell Design Week festival.

The winning entrant will win a prize of £5,000 and a budget of £15,000 to realise their design for Clerkenwell Design Week, which takes place on 20, 21 and 22 May 2025.

This makes the Shaping Water Competition a special opportunity for an architect or designer to create an installation in an extremely high-profile location during one of London's most popular design events.

Full details of how to enter the challenge can be found here

St Johns Sq

Competition open for entries until 2 April

The Shaping Water Competition is open for entries now and entrants have until 2 April 2025 to submit their designs.

The contest is free to enter for anyone over the age of 18 in any country around the world but, as the winning entrant must be able to realise the installation on site, it is intended for professional architects and designers.

In addition, entrants must ensure that they can be in London from 17 to 23 May to oversee the construction and deconstruction of the installation.

A shortlist of the best ideas will be published on Dezeen and showcased in an exhibition at Ideal Standard's Clerkenwell showroom.
