Hey folks, I'm Tony Meredith...I'll be a senior in the ID program at CCA next year. In March of this year, I was asked to take part in the design, organization, fabrication, shipping, assembling, manning, and de-installation of CCA's booth at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York. At first, Seth Murray was asked to be the co-worker on the booth...But it soon became clear that with him finishing up his thesis project and because of some other scheduling issues, he wouldn't be able to help out...rats! After a while, the school rustled up some help in the form of Gabe Lam, another senior-to-be. With that decision, we got to work...
The items shown in the booth were the pet products designed by CCA students in 2006 for Gaia & Gino...a Turkish household goods manufacturer. The pieces shown were: Chew by Jenny Olson, Wild Bowls by Brandon Warren, Twins Bowls by Richie Tanaka, and a prototype Bone Container by Matthew Gale. The furniture for the booth stemmed from a design that I did for a DWR sponsored furniture class in Fall 2006...the SlashBackslash Chair...we also produced a table to match the chairs...FIERCE!
I'd hate to bore everyone with in-depth details about the long process of the design and construction of the booth (you can look at my website http://www.tonymeredith.com for that...I'm working on that page right now...stay tuned!), I'd rather just share the pixes and call it a day! Enjoy!
