Forward Focus for Melbourne Design Week 2024
Forward Focus | Student Built Chairs Created From Waste is a collaborative exhibition curated by Zachary Frankel. Students from Hester Hornbrook Academy, a special assistance school supporting students with social and emotional challenges, were tasked to produce a chair entirely from waste materials, using limited tools. The students explored the potential of the waste materials — by-products of Tait’s manufacturing processes and various materials sourced — guided by industry mentors over a two-day workshop. The raw materials have been transformed by the students into a series of thought provoking chair experiments that were on display in Tait’s showroom as part of Melbourne Design Week 2024.
