This year the [D3] Contest first prize was awarded to Swiss designer Christoph Goechnahts for his Ordnungshaber storage system - a reinterpretation of the peg rails common to furniture made by members of the Shaker religious sect in 1800s America.

Wedge-shaped pegs slot into niches spaced along wall-mounted wooden rails.

The wedge hook border is designed to run around the perimeter of a room and can also accommodate removable shelves.

In second place was Swiss designer Yann Mathys' Reverso room divider featuring synthetic paper scales made of Tyvek, a lightweight material produced from plastic fibres, with one side shinier than the other. These tiles can be flipped by dragging a hand over the surface to create patterns across the screen.

The magnetic Jella lamp by German designer Lena Schlumbohm was given third prize. The desk lamp comprises a light source at one end of a pastel-coloured magnetic wand, which can be placed on any of the metal base's angled faces.
The [D3] Contest awards prototype designs by up-and-coming designers as part of imm cologne each year.
