17-06-2008 - 1st Place at Bristol Design Festival!

Last Friday Evening was the opening show of Brsitol Design Festival, where my table design 'Cocoon' came first place in the grafikea contest >.< I was also interviewed by Phil Hammond on BBC Radio Bristol the next morning to talk about the design.

The contest was to buy a 'Lack' table from Ikea and modify it in any way you liked. These are the features I added:
  • The retractable Canopy is made from recycled wire, ribbons, and sheer white cotton. It allows for a private space to work/plot mischief.
  • I made a cushon cover from one of my brother's old curtains. There's a circle of velcro sewn to the top, so that it can be stuck on the underside of the table when not in use.
  • A set of fairy lights are attached to the inside of the hood with ribbon ties. They're charged by a battery pack thats also velcro'd under the table, so can easily removed if young kids are around.

    This is the cover I made for somebody called Chris at a recent CD-mix swap. The theme was 'guilty pleasures' which was quite hard - I could only really guess which tunes people would consider shameful.

    Sadly the CD I got back was in mp3 so all I get out of my hifi is crackle. Maybe that was the point?
