What's New, What's Next @ 200 Lex
September 19, 2009 | Levent OZLER
The Savannah College of Art and Design's furniture design department will showcase the best student designs at "What's New, What's Next @ 200 Lex," a new product showcase featuring hundreds of introductions from nearly 100 participating showrooms, hosted by the New York Design Center, Sept. 23.
Designers, consumers and manufacturers will attend an afternoon and evening celebrating the very best in design.
SCAD is the only collegiate institution showcasing work, which will be on display through October 7.
The work by SCAD students and alumni, located on the seventh floor, represents new exciting ideas from young designers exercising their creativity in a range of materials and processes.
Plastics to natural and synthetic materials, high-tech computer modeling and traditional methods are employed to develop concepts for prototyping and exhibit.
At SCAD, students in the furniture design department hone their skills as designers by mastering the fundamentals and learning the design processes through which products are conceived, developed, fabricated and marketed.
Student designs are tested for style, comfort, utility and durability through the creation of computer renderings, scale models or prototypes, and students are taught to seek new applications for traditional practices and sustainable approaches to natural materials, encouraging them to become accountable for the broader impact of their ideas.
