“XONE DESIGN COMPETITION” is organized in 3 different categories and 6 different sub-product groups by the Association. These are:

CERAMIC INDUSTRY

1. Ceramic Tile Materials: Ceramic tile is a finishing material fixed to vertical or inclined surfaces with mortar or adhesive material. Its quality depends on where it will be used. Surfaces such as walls or floors to be covered with ceramic materials must have flat and solid surfaces to carry the materials. Elastic and movable surfaces are not suitable surfaces for covering flat coating material. For this reason, the surfaces to be coated must be a masonry material such as concrete, stone, brick, mortar, etc. It is mostly used in two types as floor covering and wall covering. Different texture or pattern designs, effective use of products indoors and outdoors, and development of usable and original ideas for aesthetics are expected.
2. Ceramic Sanitary Wares: These are sinks, washbasin feet, toilet bowls, reservoirs, bidets, urinals, squatting wc, sinks, bathtubs, shower trays which are made of ceramic and generally used in bathrooms and toilets. Products that stand out with their material technology and color features, comply with universal design criteria, in different shapes and sizes, highlighting the hygiene are expected.

GLASS INDUSTRY

1. Architectural Glass-Decoration (Texture/Pattern): Transparent or colored float glass, ultra clear float glass, laminated glass, reflective glass, frosted glass, painted glass and mirrors are decoration glass products. It is expected to develop designs for the combined use of products, different texture or pattern designs, and original ideas for the decorative use of the products indoors and outdoors.
2. Glassware: It includes automatic and handmade products made of soda lime, crystalline and borosilicate glass meeting the needs of three different sectors: home, catering and industry. It is expected to develop an aesthetic, functional, plain and decorated product design that demonstrates the beauty and durability of glass, and suitable for today's needs and trends in beverage, desktop and kitchen categories.
3. Glass Packaging: Glass Packaging is a protective material used to ensure safe transportation of a product in the distribution chain extending from the producer to the consumer. Glass packaging is the symbol of naturalness and health among packaging types, and is preferred in terms of seeing the product thanks to its transparency and clarity.

All kinds of closable glass materials that preserve alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, food, milk, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and also appeal to the accessory sector are considered as glass packaging. Glass packaging, with its organic and inorganic printing possibilities, is the element that gives the last impression on the shelf, which is the last link in the communication chain of the product and brand with the consumer, gives the final message to the consumer, and is mostly the decision maker. Glass packaging is an environmentally friendly, 100% recyclable, sustainable type of packaging, non-reactive, and does not interact with the product it contains in any way. Glass packaging is elegant and stylish, it is the premium face of the brand. It is expected to develop a product design that reflects the aesthetics, health and functionality of glass in accordance with today's bottle and glass jar trends.

CEMENT INDUSTRY

1. Cement Alternative Building Materials and Decorative Products

Concrete contains aggregate (sand, pebble, crushed stone), cement and water, with or without the addition of chemical and mineral additives, and it is mixed homogeneously in accordance with the production technology. Concrete is one of the most important construction materials, which initially has a plastic consistency and gains strength by solidifying and hardening over time. By using concrete as a material, it is aimed to reveal innovative design models, to improve the perception of concrete, and to expand its usage area.
Decorative products, alternative building materials, etc. designs that reveal different aspects of the material are expected.

All of the above-mentioned groups must comply with the requirements of the modern line, be aesthetic, innovative, hygienic, suitable for human health, exportable, energy efficient and provide added value to the sector. Materials, all necessary accessories and other technological materials can be used in the projects to be presented for the designed products.
