Winners! New Life Competition: the Sofa.

New Life, Student Furniture Design Competition at the Harrington College of Design in Chicago

Comments of the jury:

First Place:
Jahaila Sing, The Chloe Sofa

A beautiful blend of sleek sexy lines that can easily be placed from high end commercial setting such as a boutique hotel a lobby etc., to an elegant residential penthouse. It’s a balance between classic and ultra contemporary lines blendes seamlessly, making this piece quite harmonious at once inviting, yet also very dramatic.

Second place:
Cindy Rosado, Quetzali

This striking sofa achieves a lovely blend of the traditional and the coquette.
Applying curvaceous arms and wood base creates a fresh, sassy spin on the classic tufted tight lack sofa. Sophisticated. Yet cheeky.

Third Place:
Kevin Scott

This sofa is a great combination of a high design, clean lines, and a dramatic profile. The extensive use of green materials and the ability to change the slipcovers makes this a versatile, environmentally friendly statement. The profile is sleek and clean and properly proportioned.

Honorable mentions (alphabetical):
Agnieszka Eshoo:
Fun modern elements make this design great in dramatic environments
Jaima Bokany:
interesting tufted, a bit
playful, definitely a sofa you can fall into, kind of
something Roche Bobois would create

Younho Choi: An Rak sofa.
He was our number 3 select last time.
We will be seeing lots from this student in the future, this sofa, just like his a/v cabinet draws from a strong use of
clean simple lines to create a beautiful modern classic.

Lauren Di Pietro: the essence of a John Charles design, very Italian mid century, contemporary style.

Takuya Imoto: the most outside the box of all the designs, very high design more of a art piece.
