Winners of the “Prep­pers. Eco-survival Design” compet­i­tion

Bee Ready is a commu­nic­a­tion tool that signals human pres­ence, while its sweet flavour provides comfort in times of crisis and isol­a­tion. Honey provides energy and pleas­ure, meet­ing both emotional and phys­ical needs. In the context of surviv­al­ism, this whistle-snare evokes precious memor­ies through famil­iar melod­ies, while remind­ing us to preserve our human­ity and hope in diffi­cult times.

The Eclipse poncho offers protec­tion and modu­lar­ity for survival. Light­weight, compact, and made from insu­lat­ing mater­ial, it keeps you warm and protects you from the elements. With its eyelets, it collects water and converts into a shel­ter. Survival instruc­tions and games are prin­ted to provide prac­tical advice and reduce stress. Eclipse is an essen­tial part of any survival kit.

André-William Blanden­ier has chosen to move away from the purely “tech­nical” aspect of survival in the event of the apoca­lypse to tackle its more “mystical” dimen­sion. As reli­gions have debated these issues at length, he has designed a brace­let to be worn while wait­ing for “D-Day”, symbol­ising total open­ness and toler­ance towards differ­ent beliefs. The brace­let offers a perspect­ive of serenity and unity in the face of the unknown and conveys a resol­utely posit­ive message.

Many outdoor enthu­si­asts and equip­ment lovers make their own DIY alco­hol stoves, often from tin cans, to create ultra-light­weight devices in response to the gener­ally heav­ier options offered by outdoor brands. Stove_02 is the result of recon­sid­er­a­tion of the usual archi­tec­ture around an alco­hol burner, offer­ing an ultra-light design without resort­ing to make­shift construc­tion.
