Luke Bowers University College for the Creative Arts, Rochester
‘Luke deserves the Runner-Up Prize because of his dedication to raw material
research and practical, but unusual, application. Lightness of touch in
execution as well as a highly tactile human connection with function will ensure
that many of these good ideas will become visible in the marketplace in the
near future.’ Judges comment
‘My design process relies heavily on experimentation - searching for
innovative ways in which objects can brighten up our lives. The great recognition that
this award has given me has enhanced my belief in the way that I go about my
work. It serves as a big thank you to all those who have supported me.’
