On february 27th, 2010, the people of Chile went through and still endures the consequences of one of the worse earthquakes in human History.

In front of this situation, the design community can’t remain indifferent. That’s how Design for Chile is born.

The objective of Design for Chile is, at a first level, to raise funds to be donated to entities that are helping rebuild the country, and also, to unify the different actions and initiatives being made by the design world for Chile.

At this very moment our staff is contacting different designers and groups, both national and international, asking for their support and the donation of custom made prints that will be sold in our website. After that, all profits will be donated to help Chile in the best way possible.

As a final phase of our project, Design for Chile is putting together an exhibition (date to be confirmed), where all donated pieces will be displayed alongside several chilean design objects and a constant fund raise will be held.

Also, since we understand that many will want to take part in our project, we will hold an international open call for posters. All pieces submitted will take part in our exhibition, however, 15 of them will be chosen and added to our international store, side by side with all of our guests. You can download the brief here.

For any questions please contact us at ialso@designforchile.com.

From now we would like to extend our encouragement to Chile and our deepest grattitude to the world community of designers for their interest and willingness. We hope to do what we can for our country in such hard times.

Design For Chile.
