The inspired festival is such an amazing event which showcases work from a range of design disciplines. The School of Architecture and Design had a great show this year and after having a look around I have selected a couple of my favourite pieces, which have really inspired me as a furniture designer.

​

Cord collection from Thomas Harwood is one of my favourite pieces, as it demonstrates a focus on function and form as well as adopting a personality. The collection is made from Bamboo block board and finished in Danish Oil. This creates a natural look that contrasts against the colourful shock cord and mild steel legs. The use of shock cord a semi-transparent front, is such creative and new notion from the traditional door or draw. All the objects within the collection are truly amazing, demonstrating great talent and hard work!

​

Håll from Beau Birkett is also another interesting piece, as it has a strong focus on sustainable design. The collection is made up of a coat stand, floor light and a stool. All the pieces utilise thermoformed PET felt from recycled plastic bottles, which demonstrates furniture design of the future!
