"We are happy to receive the acknowledgment of a design, that aims to improve opportunities for families in some of the world's poorest communities. By funding long-term innovations we can create a substantial, lasting change," says Real Relief´s Managing Director, Trine Angeline Sig.

DANSK DESIGN CENTER Lifeshelter^® is a new approach to the issue of temporary housing of refugees in third-world countries.

The unique shelter and rehousing solution based on an innovative concept is ideal for rapid temporary rehousing in emergency situations, and can be re-purposed for permanent housing. Lifeshelter^® is a durable, modular, cost effective and reusable rehousing solution that meets a wide variety of shelter needs. The advanced technology is designed by Jakob Christensen and Claus Heding. The Danish company Real Relief will market, manufacture and sell Lifeshelter^® worldwide.

The jury says
"A laudable solution that adds durability and resilience to a temporary tent shelter in the shape of insulation and a simple construction system. The solution considers the life situation of people in displacement and restores dignity while contributing to a slightly more reasonable daily life for its occupants. The design is modular, making it adaptable to the size of the family and easy to pack up and bring along, should the volatility of life in displacement demand it."

"With Danish Design Award we celebrate the difference design can make in 3^rd world countries. Lifeshelter® appeals to all our senses, which is what a real design must do," says Real Relief´s Managing Director, Trine Angeline Sig.
