YLighting + Flos are calling on all design lovers to transform Marcel Wanders’ Can Can pattern into a work of art. The first step in the Pattern Play Design Contest is to download the pattern. Step two, apply it to an unexpected place (they suggest stitching it to clothing, shaving it into your head, carving it into a tree) – the more creative, the better your chance is to win. Then snap a few photos and submit! The deadline to enter is January 15, 2012. You can enter as many times as you want, as long as each entry is original. In the end, Marcel Wanders, Piero Gandini (CEO of Flos) and Sean Callahan (CEO of YLighting) will select their favorites. The winner will be handsomely rewarded:

1st Place: $2500 + a Flos Can Can Light

2nd Place: $1000 + a Flos Can Can Light

3rd Place: $500 + a Flos Can Can Light

Runners-Up (5): A Flos Can Can Light
