Jump the Gap – 4th Roca International Design Contest

Jump the gap represents Roca’s support for the new generations of designers. 

The objectives of the competition are for promotional purposes 

With this fourth edition of its International Design Contest, Roca establishes a platform for talented young designers and architects. “Jump the gap” offers the opportunity to create and design innovative solutions in bathroom and related products. 

With more than 50 years of experience in comprehensive management of the application of design and innovation, we at Roca know that more than 50% of the products that we will use in 10 years have not yet been manufactured, much less designed. So what will they be like? 

A large part of those products incorporate concepts and technologies that we may not even be able to imagine today... or maybe we can. “Jump the gap” starts from the assumption that young creatives design today whilst thinking about tomorrow; a tomorrow when the limitations of today will not apply and when new needs, architecture, technologies and products will emerge which will help us to improve people’s lives by bringing them more well-being, hygiene and comfort. 

This fourth edition of Roca International Design Contest is aimed at creative people who think towards the future whilst designing today. 

These are designs that can bring forth their vision of conceptually innovative bathroom products and solutions: new products, new spaces and/or new uses and functions. 

Jump the gap is a creative contest proposal that brings new and innovative concepts to the bathroom, understanding innovation as the anticipation of users’ new desires and needs, as well as (why not?) the transformation of dreams and desires into reality.
