Embrace

The original brief was set to design a modern take on the Isokon Penguin Donkey, that was within 10% of the originals dimensions. The outcome was “embrace” an award winning piece of furniture, designed to store modern media such as DVD's, CD’s and Magazines.

This smart piece of furniture naturally forms two low modern tables that are then 'embraced' together in order to form a storage unit / magazine rack / occasional table.

The flowing curves are produced by laminating plywood, which is then skillfully veneered. Laminating consists of bonding together many layers in order to produce one solid shape. Embrace is available in a variety of materials and finishes. Modeled below in cherry veneered plywood and glacier white corian (DuPont).

Embrace won the CSD (Charted Society of Designers) Student Medal for Product Design - 2007.

Embrace was also a finalist in the Northern Designers Product Design awards - 2008  

Embrace was also a finalist in the Design Show Liverpool - Student awards - 2008
