Designed by Catherine Worsham of Chesterfield, a fifth-year industrial design student, the "Urban Artifact" is a bench, edge fencing, and a bike rack^
Your weird, our creative genius. That’ll be the battle cry as a huge group of furniture designers—including a team of faculty and students from Virginia Tech—gather next week to show their wares.
A Tech team is from the School of Architecture + Design and will be an exhibitor at the 21st annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York May 19-22.
The exhibition focuses on research linking industrialized processes with innovative use of material. The work will be shown in the Material and Processes section of the fair, and is the result of previous exhibitions at the Cologne Furniture Fair in Germany, and the Salone Di Mobile in Milan, Italy, where Tech had a successful team a year ago.
The New York fair will feature more than 25,000 interior designers, architects, retailers, designers, manufacturers, representatives, distributors and developers. More than 550 exhibitors will display contemporary furniture, seating, carpet and flooring, lighting, outdoor furniture, materials, wall coverings, accessories, textiles, and kitchen and bath for residential and commercial interiors.
