The Solutia World of Color Awards 2012

Register: 16.03.2012 / Submit: 16.03.2012

A History of Design Recognition

In 2000, the Solutia Design Awards was born to honor architects and automotive designers whose use of laminated colored glass, made with Vanceva® interlayers, was deemed the best among entrants with special consideration for the following criteria:

1. Creative use of laminated color glass
2. Relation to new and developing applications of laminated glass
3. Overall aesthetics of project
4. Degree of attention paid to laminated glass benefits

Today, as the creative use of color in design continues to grow, Solutia is proud to host the World of Color AwardsTM – Inspired by Vanceva. Focusing on architects, interior designers, glass fabricators, glazing engineers and other industry professionals for their innovative use of colored laminated safety glass in building design and interior spaces, the contest and the conversations around it are meant to inspire, educate and showcase greatness in architectural design around the world.
