Student Design Award winners propose different ideas to benefit local woodlands
For the second year running, the RSA Student Design Awards have brought forward novel ways to utilise local woodland resources to stimulate inclusive and sustainable economic activity. In an Award category called ‘A New Leaf’, sponsored by internationally recognised designer and furniture maker, John Makepeace, with support from Woodland Heritage, two quite different ideas caught the judges’ imagination, with the winners sharing the £2,000 John Makepeace Award at the awards ceremony in June.
‘Branching Out’ Leeds the way!
Joint winners of ‘Branching Out’ have been announced as Simon Feather of Leeds Beckett University and Sandra Reith of University of Leeds, both recipients of the John Makepeace Award. ‘Branching Out’ was one of the RSA Student Design Award briefs in 2019/20, sponsored by internationally recognised designer and furniture maker, John Makepeace OBE, with additional support from Woodland Heritage.
