Do you have designing hands? Get some creativity in your holiday (this would be fun to make into a competition among family or friends too!) by creating a chair for Design Within Reach’s annual Champagne Chair Contest! No, not full-size ones….miniatures made from what would normally be thrown away from your celebratory Champagne during Christmas and New Year’s:
Create an original miniature chair using only the foil, label, cage and cork from no more than two Champagne bottles. Chairs will be judged by a panel of industry experts and the winners will embark on a nation-wide tour. The winning designers will receive DWR Gift Cards.
In an effort to minimize the mountains of packaging waste generated in the past, submissions should be made digitally. All entries must be received, via email, by 5pm (PT) on Monday, January 7, 2008.
What a fun idea…and if you don’t win, you can give your chairs to any dollhouse-having kid for extra seating.
