Featured Designer::May 23, 2011
My boyfriend, the designer, recently traveled to New York City with his fellow “100-mile design challenge” classmates for the International Contemporary Furniture Fair—North America’s premiere showcase for design. Along with a companion design university from Baltimore, Sohroosh and his classmates showcased their functional design projects focused on sourcing 100% of the materials from within a 100-mile radius of their respective city. As such, student faced the challenge of eliminating plastics, metals and conventional fabrics in exchange for utilizing creative new materials like hemp cloth, bee’s wax and cat tails.
For a better look into Sohroosh’s design process of his locally-sourced hat [and to see what his classmates produced] visit the 100-Mile Design Challenge Blog

Thanks, Lisa :)
