In this exclusive interview for Dezeen, Elitsa Boneva explains how her design for a flexible desk lamp was shortlisted for TalentLab, a new platform for emerging designers from Made.com.

"TalentLab is a platform for designers to submit their ideas and potentially see their design produced," says Boneva, a recent graduate working at Lee Broom's studio.

Aspiring designers like Boneva are invited to submit their product designs to the TalentLab. Made.com selects a shortlist of the best entries to present on the TalentLab website.

Customers visiting the site can then vote for their favourite designs by pledging a refundable deposit. The most popular designs are put into production, and will be made available for purchase as part of Made.com's range of products.
The designers will be paid royalties in line with the percentage that Made.com pays all of its existing professional designers.
