In the `by invitation´ section of the Promosedia International Design Competition, each year some young designers, selected by a process to be explained below, are invited to design a wooden chair, or one in which wood is dominant. Their prototypes, thanks to the creativity of the designers and the capabilities of the local skilled workers, are displayed not out of context but rather amidst a collection representing the work of each young designer (in fact we are convinced that in the works of an artist there are continuous characteristic visions repeated). So at the Promosedia2005 - International Chair Exhibition in Udine in September, these young people will be able to show the world their special approach to design... Strictly under 40 years of age, they come from different countries in order to widen the debate and immediately put on the table the relationship between national and global market identity. A rather better known trio consisting of Konstantin Grcic, Jasper Morrison and myself, friends co-debaters rather than colleagues, each selected two designers suitable to be witnesses and carrying the message. Konstantin Grcic put his faith in the Austrian group POLKA and the Germans Weisshaar-Kram; Jasper Morrison singled out the German-born Englishman André Klauser and the German Klaus Hackl; I thought of the Swedish group Front and the Italian Donata Paruccini.
