Five Designers Walk into a Furniture Store...

CSHQA Designers: Sam White, Mandie Brozo, Evelyn Peterson, Nicole Cecil, Megumi Haus

You never know what you’re going to get when you combine the talents of a CAD guru, an Architect-in-Training and three Interior Designers. 

The folks at Office Environment Company [OEC] invited a few of their design friends to a friendly competition to see who could ‘dress up’ a Buoy.  The Buoy Design Competition posed a challenge to teams to take a simple gray and white buoy (a drum-like stool that rocks on a rounded bottom) and design creative graphics that express ‘movement.’

 

Team CSHQA, consisting of [L-R] Sam White, Mandie Brozo, Evelyn Peterson, Nicole Cecil and Megumi Haus, chose to create a theme around camping in the great outdoors.  As Mandie Brozo explains, “You are always moving when you are camping.  Hiking, swimming, kayaking, setting up a tent, exploring… Even if you are sitting still, there is still movement in nature.”  To convey this theme Team CSHQA created a scene that can be best seen when the buoy is in motion.  The element of surprise is the water flowing around the lower drum of the buoy.  This is seen when the buoy moves up and down for height.
