Design Now! 2009

Fresh out of design school, these grads are pushing boundaries and challenging how we see the world. Entries this year include furniture with distinct canine characteristics, a bicycle-led trailer that transforms into a mobile outdoor kitchen, a ‘sound bubble’ live music venue, plywood clothing and a tea set that forces the user to observe proper tea-sipping etiquette. We’re in good hands. – JP
