GANDIABLASCO relaunches its International Outdoor Furniture Design Contest with a challenge to design an outdoor office for the terrace.
The contest calls on design talents aged 18 to 35 to take in account criteria such as creativity, innovation, the functionality of the furniture meant to equip an office, or its ability to fit the terraces.
