National street furniture manufacturer Town & Park<\/a> is helping\u00a0creative Curtin students to develop their concepts for next-generation street furniture into viable products.<\/p>\n

In June, Product, Furniture and Jewellery Design<\/a> students Nagla\u2019A Abdullah, Jordan Stone, Justine Ng, Deveral Wijaya and Hugh Forward each won monetary prizes and support to further develop their ideas with industry experts when Town & Park held their annual competition for Curtin Students.<\/p>\n

Course Coordinator Dr Qassim Saad described the competition as an invaluable opportunity for students.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents can engage with industry through responding to a design brief from a real client. They also get to promote their creative attempts through the final presentation. These experiences are vital to emerging designers.<\/p>\n

\u201cTown & Park maintain a relationship with other students too – not just the winners – and support the process of developing some ideas\u201d Saad says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe keep expanding the opportunities to cover product design and jewellery design, with a focus on strengthening collaboration with industry and linking teaching practices with design competitions at both national and international levels.\u201d<\/p>\n
