The campaign will be run by Emirates Team New Zealand, undoubtedly one of the most prestigious professional sailing teams in the world. The yacht will be called Camper and will carry the burgees of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron and the Real Club Náutico de Palma.

The history and the authenticity of the race, the human adventure, the effort, the desire to improve and the teamwork fully fit the Camper values. Competing in this race motivates Camper to continue innovating and strengthening its presence around the world.

The managing director of the Emirates Team New Zealand team, Grant Dalton, a former winner of this event, brings with him not only a wealth of experience, but a very charismatic and highly competitive team of sailors. 

The 2011-12 Volvo Ocean Race will be the 11th edition of the event. The first 31,250 nautical-mile race first took place over 37 years ago (as the Whitbread Round the World Race 1973-74), testing the crews against some of the most ferocious elements that man can encounter. The next race starts in Alicante, Spain, in late 2011 and will finish at Galway, Ireland, in mid 2012, with stopovers in Cape Town (South Africa), Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), Sanya (China), Auckland (New Zealand), Itajai (Brazil), Miami (USA), Lisbon (Portugal) and Lorient (France).

Eight students from the most prestigious European schools had the opportunity to not only attend technique and artistic conferences where speakers were authorities in the creative process, anatomy, materials and sustainable projects, but also to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Son Fortesa.

The result of the students work, ten shoe prototypes and a publication also available online presented on the closing of the workshop, are a proof of the creativity and talent of these young designers. If you want to know more about this workshop, you can check this blog.

Camper’s energy efficiency commitment joins other environmental initiatives undertaken by the company, such as the water reuse system and the use of solar energy in Casa Camper Barcelona or the close collaboration with sustainable projects like “Paredes en Crestall”.

It is also in the design and conception of its shoe lines that Camper makes great sustainability efforts.  Camper was the first European shoe company to achieve the Ecolabel with the Camaleon. In 2000 it launched the WABI concept with two easily separable and recyclable components. Nowadays, it still continues to add biodegradable and recycled components like organic cotton or PET.

Camper reaffirms its commitment to the environment in a responsible way.

An excellent source of information for all those Camper lovers that want to know everything about the Majorcan brand.

This edition of Design Made is consacrated to sostenible Design with the theme Saving by Design. It represents an opportunity for designers from all over the world to share environmentally responsible design. It congregates an average of 1000 persons a day, being most of them designers and design students.

Attendants will have the opportunity to visit the Camper booth, which has been designed using the info-shop concept, where each one of the five panels presents a different theme: the story of the brand, information about Camper and Mallorca, ecological issues developed by Camper, design and creative projects of the brand, and finally a Walk-in-Progress panel, concept already existing in Camper stores that consist in allowing visitors to write or draw on the walls.

So you are invited to start imagining, sharing, browsing around what has been imagined, meet people based on their imagination and even building on what others have imagined. You’ll find it all very self-explanatory at the Bank of Imagination. Once you open the page, you register, and you can fill the empty boxes with anything you can imagine.

For example:

Imagine that… the weatherman was the spitting image of James Dean
Imagine that… today the dinner is going to cook itself
Imagine that… right now, there is nobody in the world happier than you

And you can imagine with words, photos or videos, or combining them. Enter and let your imagination run wild!
