Anthony Yang, 7 Tear Drops
7 Tear Drops is an original vision of what a coffee table can be. The final piece is true to the concept and has many lovely details. A beautiful table that is a joy to look at. – Leslie Webb
A piece that bridges the divide between furniture and art. The design statement reveals a sophistication of the design theory and a high level of skills required to produce this piece. It is a design that can be further developed to produce a range of furniture pieces that work together
and shows great promise for this young designer maker. – Melissa Ward
STUDENT – RUNNER-UP
Nae-Tanakorn Pongpaew, Haute, Nested Occasional Table
Haute is a beautiful interpretation of nested tables. The way the two fit together is clever and innovative. The individual tables are as lovely separately as they are nested together. – Leslie Webb
The nested table is a furniture typology that has been reinterpreted many times throughout the decades, however
this piece exhibits a fresh ingenuity. There is much to admire in this work, from the clever stacking design to the selection of materials and the delicacy of the curved forms which are very ‘on trend’. This work is not only a beautiful art piece, but wonderfully practical for apartment and smaller home living.
