1.4.2 Fire Theme
According to the information of IDCO (Japan Design Foundation (JDF) 1989), in
Table 1.4, 1009 design concepts were submitted in total to the first phase of judging by
industrial designers from 52 countries, showing the interest of designers worldwide
towards the fire theme. A limited number of these design concepts: 91 (8.91%),
respectively—were approved for final selection phases. Only design concepts from
25 countries were approved for the final selection phase: the most from the Japan,
United States and Germany, and one or two works from 22 other countries.
(A) 401 visual communication, (B) 313 product design (I), (C) 153 product design
(II), (D) 111 environmental design, and (E) 22 research and other categories.
In the first phase, design categories comprised A. (39.7%), B. (31.0%), C. (15.2%),
D. (11.0%), and E. (2.2%) of entries. The 91 entries selected in the final selection
were reviewed and recategorized with the following results: categories A. (36.5%),
B. (41.8%), C. (6.6%) and D. (13.2%), with no submissions in category E. reaching
the final phase.

Product Design based on Water Theme
Table 1.5 shows the general approaches of ecodesign strategies of 24 product design
concepts based on the water theme.
The sub-categories of product design concepts with water theme in Table 1.4 are:
(B): equipment, camera, device, mobile, appliances and lighting; (C): flask, furniture,
partition and plastic sheet; and (D): arquitecture and urban development).
