Beneath the Surface: Design Students Find Beauty Using Corian®

Video content is available on this web page at http://172.30.28.35/en-us/bi/video/design-students-explore.html

 

This video was originally featured on Dwell.com in a 3-part series "Beneath the Surface." 
 
Philadelphia University College of Design, Engineering and Commerce students were given a design brief to take a stance on beauty - and to evolve it into a physical form with the help of Corian®. By challenging their imaginations to create beauty through furniture, tableware, accessories and more, these students utilized the different ways Corian® can be fabricated. The final designs were featured in the LIFE+ exhibit during DesignPhiladelphia 2010 and the project was made possible by CH Briggs. 
 
Take a look for yourself to see the final results!
