ideasforward invited designers worldwide to send proposals to the EIRA Lounge competition for Portugal's Bons Sons music festival in the Cem Soldos village this August. Entrants had to design a sustainably built lounge space for festival-goers to meet up, socialize, and relax during the festival.
Since the EIRA Lounge will be near the main EIRA concert stage, the structure can't be distracting during performance sets. Though of course, the Lounge would also have to be an approachable, complementary space.
After the jury convened in Cem Soldos last week, they selected three prize winners and 12 honorable mentions. All prize winners won 4-day Bon Sons tickets, while the 1st-prize winner also got 1,000€ and will have their EIRA Lounge proposal realized. The winning and honorable mention designs will be exhibited during the festival.
Check out the winning entries below.
