Elle decor competition




The brief: Design a stool
Our judges will be looking for a contemporary design that avoids being generic, fussy or complicated. It must meet the following criteria:
*beautiful
*manufacturable
*marketable
*structurally sound
*original and showing ingenuity
*Sustainability is an advantage

Competitions like this are always exciting..getting the creative juices flowing..and seeing what others in the industry come up with. From what i've seen so far..this is gonna be awesome.
My stool design is steeped in KZN culture and ecology. Although the competition brief states we need not make a prototype of the stool..the college has tasked us to do just that. Have to say: pretty happy with the outcome! ;)
You will have to wait until the deadline closes to see pics though. Only fair...

Check out the Elle Decor site when you have a moment... http://elledecoration.co.za
It's a phenomenal resource for all things design related. I'll pick my favourites over the next few days to showcase...first up.

Really whatever your heart (or walls) desires...you can have it!


Lastly: happy 4th of July everyone! And happy birthday Tom C.
