Busy times at the opening night of MMU's student show last week, traditionally mobbed, however this year the numbers appeared even greater than usual - and the amassed family, friends, industry professionals and interested observers weren't to be disappointed, with the Three Dimensional Design Show providing the high spot, attracting significant interest throughout the evening.
A pair of designers in particular stood out for me due to two pieces of beautiful furniture. Li-En Yeung and Tom Vousden.
Li-En Yeung
Li-En Yeung's ash framed Occasional chair with walnut veneered seat portrayed a beautifully considered attention to form and function. With a slight nod towards an Eames aesthetic the piece, below, displays some lovely curves with a definite deftness of touch in it's crafting - in particular the slender tapering legs.
For more images together with Li-En Yeung's details can be found at the link below.

Tom Vousden
From the minute you entered the packed 3D design exhibition space it was readily apparent that there was something special on show to the immediate left. The reason for the commotion; a stunning retro inspired desk by designer Tom Vousden. Created using laminating and veneering techniques the design which offers a nod towards Herman Miller, is constructed in plywood and MDF with a walnut veneer. The sensual curved sides are created using laminated flexiply, and finished off linoleum for the desk top work surface. Overall the contrast between the two woods is no less striking than the sensitivity of the designs flowing lines.
