The Festival of Wood invites open applications to the 5th Industrial Design Competition.

We look for: Functional, modern wooden piece

»Most of us imagine forest as an oasis of peace and relaxation. A sound of rustling leaves, birds singing, pleasant forest scents relax and calm us. The question is whether a carefully designed piece of nature in the form of wood can create a feeling of homeliness and connection with nature?”  
-- prof. dr. Jasna Hrovatin, from text Relaxation in harmony with nature
