2013 will be our 28th annual design competition. We specifically seek innovative ideas in furniture parts, components, accessories and hardware. Regardless of how you may think your thought is too prosaic or too dull or too unusual or “not good enough”, please send it in and let us decide. You would be surprised at how many First Place award winners were shocked when they got the congratulatory call! They never thought they had a chance ...
Entry is easy: Send us a clear write-up about your idea. A drawing is even better, and a model is best. Please send FedEx or Registered mail and show Attn: Design Competition on your label or airbill. Entries can also be emailed to contest@mockett.com (PDF files only).
Deadline is September 3rd and the judges meet and decide in December.
There are only First Place awards and an unlimited number; in the past winners have ranged from one to four. First Place is awarded $1000, an engraved achievement trophy, and a royalty based on sales.

27th ANNUAL DESIGN CONTEST - 2012 WINNERS!
Doug Mockett & Company recently hosted its 27th Annual Design Competition, and we are pleased to announce the winners! The contest continues to grow every year, and this year was no different. International entries were on the rise once again and the overall number of participants continued to climb to new heights. The scope of ideas was seemingly limitless, covering a broad range of parts, big and small. Trust us when we say selecting a winner is always a challenge. Luckily we are not limited to one single First Place prize, and this year there were four. Congratulations to the winners! We are proud to introduce them and their winning entries below. Enjoy.

Strato Leg - Sleek hour glass figure rounded off on the bottom with a colorful hard rubber cap. Smooth lines and elegant shape on the Satin Aluminum leg create an interesting contrast with the bottom, giving off a soft glow.
Andrew Elliott,
Englewood, Florida
Cord Manager – Small, rounded wire managers are easily mounted, easily accessible, and great for keeping loose cabling intact in tight spaces. Rounded reverse-facing clips hug the cabling and keep it channeled together. Cables can be inserted by coiling cable through the top and bottom clips and removed the same way with ease.
Chris Granneberg,
Brooklyn, New York
Dock-it – Desktop mounting for iPod, iPhone, or iPad made easy. Cap and liner set includes round docking base made of soft touch plastic. Simply drop device into slit on docking base and secure connection with the terminal. Base holds device securely in place for easy touch access while charging at the same time.
Ofir Zucker,
Ramat Gan, Israel
Table Leg - Rhythmic cuts throughout the leg reveal the core and create a textured coil-like effect surrounding the inner leg. Unbound inner leg paired with outer coils make a striking three dimensional contrast. Extraordinary design also includes an hour glass shape for added visual effect.
