‘Schema Lounge Chair’

‘Geoff presented a tour de force ensemble of contemporary seating that showed a really new sillhouette and taste. He explored an exquisite tension between function, colour, materials, volume and proportion that was supported with good drawings and thinking.’
Judges comment

‘I cannot thank the judges enough for deeming my work worthy of The Peter Walker Award. It helped immensely; my work got both the attention and press, which I feel was largely down to winning. People would take time to look at my work because I won the Award, therefore giving me greater opportunity to explain/pitch the range to them. It was a great start to my week at New Designers which I thoroughly enjoyed, and at which I was able to make numerous valuable contacts.’
