竞赛主办方是位于印度海德拉巴的一家非营利组织。该组织的工作是通过研讨会、展览、讲座、讨论和比赛来提高设计和创新的意识，引导人们为社会带来积极的变化。此前，Thinking Hand举办了“需求型避难所”研讨会，旨在设计一种可折叠的结构，在灾难期间为难民和其他弱势群体提供住所。

为了体现人们长期所忽视的遗留历史、建筑设计和建造工程等问题的重要性，该组织举行了对“足迹”的展览和学术讨论，呼吁民间社会和政府关注这个话题，让人们重视遗产保护问题。最近，主办方与因斯布鲁克大学（University of Innsbruck）合作，举办了“印欧工作坊”，为落后的社区提供设计解决方案，主办方与该学校已经达成共识，并率先在印度开设了一个名为“E2节能低成本建筑”的工作室项目。为了建造有效的住宅单元，符合人体工程学的家具设计则至关重要，为了更好地解决这一问题，本次竞赛应运而生。


竞赛目的：

提高学生/专业人士的意识，思考设计如何帮助改善社会状况；
促进学生和专业人士的思考，并以1：1的比例制作模型；
为落后社区的居民建造创新的家具，为世界各地落后的社区作出贡献。


竞赛设计简介：

竞赛向所有人开放，包括学生和专业人员。竞赛要求设计一个符合人体工程学的家具，符合成本效益，环境友好，符合当地社区需求。众所周知，贫民窟等其他落后社区的居民缺乏使用的空间。设计的家具应适应用户的需要，适应不同尺寸的空间，满足使用者存储、休息、睡觉、阅读和书写等功能需求。
