KINGSTON, ON, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - The winning pod design for SnapCab's first annual "Space To Be You" contest will be revealed on the eve of Chicago's NeoCon® on Sunday, June 12 (3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. CT). SnapCab, the pod design and manufacturing company, will unveil a full-scale build of the winning design, the "Japandi" pod, by Georgia Southern University recent interior design graduate, Emma Franceschina.
Carla Bostock, SnapCab's art director and product aesthetics designer, led the contest in collaboration with commercial interior design media company, i+s. Bostock says designers and design students were invited to use their creativity, innovation, and vision to completely customize a SnapCab pod for a chance to win a trip to Chicago to attend NeoCon 2022 and have their design come to life.
"Submissions were sent in from all over North America, and the winner was determined by the highest number of votes on the i+s Instagram account," says Bostock. "We were amazed and inspired by what we received, and Emma's design was named the winner."
Franceschina focused on biophilic and wellness design during her time in school.
"I am still feeling so honored that I won this contest, and I can't wait to see the design come to life at NeoCon this year," she says. "This is my first architecture project outside of college. I can't wait for the grand reveal and celebration, and to meet the wonderful SnapCab team that has worked with me to turn this into a reality."
Both Franceschina and Bostock were interviewed about the contest and final design by the i+s I Hear Design Podcast.
An RSVP is recommended for the event, which will include champagne, a signature cocktail, and a nibble. After the pod reveal, guests will have a chance to hear from Franceschina herself.
