Vietnamese artist Nguyen Thu Thuy has been awarded the Honourable Mention Prize in the Other Products Designs-Pro category of the 8th International Design Awards (IDA) for the “Hanoi Lotus Fountain” project.
The ward was announced by the IDA honorary juries in Los Angeles, the US on March 26.
The IDA, established in 2007, is held annually in Los Angeles with the aim of recognising, honouring and promoting legendary design visionaries and uncovering emerging talents in architecture, interior, product, graphic and fashion design on a global level.
This year’s competition attracted more than 1,000 entries sent from architects and designers of fashion, products, graphics and interiors from 52 countries throughout the world.
The Lotus-shaped fountain decorated with millions of ceramic mosaic tiles was inaugurated at Mai Xuan Thuong garden in Hanoi on October 9, 2014 to mark the 60th anniversary of Hanoi's Liberation Day (October 10, 1954-2014).
The fountain, resembling a lotus blossom, is four metres high and built on a single pillar.
The work of art has three layers, each layer featuring a six-petal lotus adorned with thousands of 2x2cm ceramic mosaic tiles of various tones of orange and yellow.
Four arc benches were also installed around the fountain decorated with ceramic mosaic tiles featuring old Long Bien Bridge and Hanoi's Old Quarter.
The installation and design of the fountain was directed by Thuy who received the Guinness World Record for the Largest Ceramic Mosaic of Hanoi Ceramic Mosaic Mural in 2010, marking the celebration of the Hanoi Millennium (1010-2010).-VNA
