RELEASE1.0

It was a tough call with hundreds of entries, but the eagerly-awaited three winners of RELEASE1.0, the design competition to connect emerging design talent with the emerging marketplace of museum and gallery stores are........

The three winning products will now be produced for retail in the ICA and at Culturelabel.com, with the winning designers taking a percentage share of the revenue.

Ekow Eshun, Artistic Director of the ICA, said: "The production of culture product is an increasingly dynamic space where culture and commerce are blending together. Release1.0 has is an innovative collaboration between the ICA and CultureLabel.com to unlock the creativity of artists and designers many of whom are our constituents in order to develop the next generation of culture merchandise."

Benjamin Allder , Art Director of MTV Sticky magazine said: "It was a treat to judge RELEASE1.0 as the standards of entry were so high. It was difficult to choose the three winners out of so many entries but after much deliberating we managed it. I think the winning products are something that most people would want to own and I can't wait to see them in the shops."
