wilsonart® challenges is a student design scholarship program to foster the careers of emerging furniture
designers in north america. in 2008, wilsonart selected the industrial design department at the university
of philadelphia to participate in the program. the students were taught about laminate; its history, technical
capabilities, current market trends, and sustainability issues as well as the history of chairs as a decorative
arts form. throughout the course of a semester, concepts were generated, discussed and refined through a
series of exercises and critiques.
wilsonart exhibited the shortlisted designs during new york design week 09 inside the ICFF show floor.

I'm looking for the names of the other designers whose work was in the Wilsonart Challenges space at the ICFF. If anyone knows them or if there's a link to a Wilsonart Challenges site that shows that info -- I can't find it -- I'd appreciate someone's sending it to me. Thanks, Ryan (rdgeieio at yahoo dot com)
