Dangerous Designs: Bi-Monthly Winners

Dangerous Designs have just announced the two winners of bi-monthly $500 prizes in the lead-up to the announcement of the annual $5,000 award in October at the 2018 Australian Timber Design Awards (ATDA).

Scott van Tuil is winner of the Open Category for LOFT Bench (shown above). The LOFT Bench was driven by a desire to explore uses for locally produced, responsibly harvested, Tasmanian timber veneer. Utilising CNC technology, four shells are pressed, cut and joined with dominos and hi-strength epoxy glue.

 

Troy Baverstock is winner of the Student Category for BD6Touch (above). BD6touch is a minimalist wooden music player that invites a tactile user experience through a series of interactive wooden blocks. Made from hoop pine plywood and Tas oak (eucalypt species), carnauba and beeswax finish.

Dangerous Designs is an online design competition, sponsored by WoodSolutions and supported by professional associations, industry bodies, universities and tertiary institutions. There are four categories: Eat, Play Sleep; Go; Work and Build and anyone in Australia can enter.
