'The Arch', Best of Student Product Design at A&D Trophy Awards 2019

Introducing 'The Arch', winner of The Best of Student Product Design award at the A&D Trophy Awards 2019. The Arch is a furniture design that explores the idea of function following form; the movement of a person rolling over was translated into sections of the object. These sections were then joined, creating a long bench with a dynamic outline and changing topography. The size and shape of the arches below change with every section, annotating the movement in different states. Placed together as a complete bench, users can sit on both sides and fit into the PU foam with different postures. They can be separated or used in combinations: a sitting object with a side table, a sofa or a stool. Designed by: (Environment & Interior Design) Lai Pui Ying Venus, Lam Yuet Lai Timothy, Wang Yuanzhi Lesimo; (Product Design) An Bangning Benny, Chen Qixuan Mark Elective tutor: Henri Tung   Well done!

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) Statement In view of the prevailing cordoning-off of the PolyU campus, and facilities on campus being extensively and severely vandalized, in considering the personal safety of PolyU staff members, the University has earlier decided to extend office suspension until 1 December 2019 (Sunday). Staff should stay away from the campus, and are expected to work from home as far as practicable. The University will later decide on the need for further extending the office suspension, as well as the work arrangements for staff members, taking into account the developments of the issue and the environmental situations of the campus.   Press Contacts Ms Eunice Cheng Deputy Director of Communications and Public Affairs （852）2766-6377 eunice.ol.cheng@polyu.edu.hk For latest updates, please stay tuned at the PolyU's website.
