The natural fiber composite stool that
Miwa Ikemiya and I designed back in the Summer of 2011 was accepted as a finalist into the American Composites Manufacturers Association's 'Awards in Composites Excellence' competition. The ACE award is an industry spotlight for innovation in composites design, so our inclusion was both flattering and exciting.
The conference took place over February 21-23 and although we didn't win, we created a lot of waves and made a lot of friends. Many suggestions were made about how to move the design forward, how to refine the process and even how to bring it to market.
Thank you to all.
