Gregory Commercial Furniture is proud to announce the winner of the 2008 Creative Vibe Competition™ – Chris Hardy’s ‘San’.
The Creative Vibe design Competition™ was launched in 2006 and is open to entrants from Australia and New Zealand to submit their designs for the theme outlined in their design brief.
The judging team of Maree Draper, Kevin Brookes, Mathew Sheargold and Amanda Stanaway review the entries and interview the shortlisted finalists. Two finalists are then selected who progress onto a workshop with the judges where GCF will prototype their designs..
