Competition for Coillte

In April Coillte flew the whole of our second year out to Cork in southern Ireland. They put us up in an expensive hotel and gave us a tour of their forestry, and factories that produce MDF and OSB. They set us a brief to design a food vendor for the olympics in 2012 using their materials. They were looking for new uses of their material, and trying to promote it to us as young designers.

It was a group project with a competition and prize money at the end of it. There were 3 main winners, and 2 runners up, of which our group was one of. 

There were a lot of really interesting ideas, and was a really enjoyable project to work on.

Our chosen brand to work with was Planet Organic who use the theme of markets to promote their food. From this we designed a market style modular crate system.
