Franca Pauli and Dario Colombo, graphic designer and photographer, work in the field of design and communication with their company Balilla Enterprises. They are also the conceivers of a foundation for contemporary culture, Clio, with which for a number of years they have been pursuing a broad and democratic approach to design: their competitions, organised every two years, are open to all with no limits in terms of age, profession, qualifications or education and are an invitation to build objects by hand. After asking participants to design a lamp and a game, the brief for this year, the third edition of the competition (entitled 'Roba'), is to make an item clothing.

All the designs entered will be brought together in an exhibition (at the Museo Santa Caterina in Treviso from 16 to 30 June), a book will be published and then they will be sold at a charity auction to raise money for Unicef for the distribution of rehydration packs in Africa. The three winners (announced 30 June) will each receive a prize of 2000 euro.
