Susie Rogers and her rescue of an entertainment center wins our latest project, so we're sending her to the Compostmodern conference next month.
The winner, as chosen by six judges, is the Kid's Kitchen Made from a Discarded Entertainment Center, by Susie Rogers, pictured above.
Judge Sarah Rich commented on why Rogers' idea was a winner. "There are so many disgustingly ugly entertainment centers cluttering up Salvation Armys and Goodwills and nobody wants them," she says, noting that she saw a similar kid's kitchen being sold at Pottery Barn. "I am definitely in favor of this over a Pottery Barn kid kitchen. Knowing that the Pottery Barn one is on the market makes this one all the more appealing."
Rogers will win two tickets to Compostmodern, the design and sustainability conference taking place January 22 and 23 in San Francisco.
We'd also like to give honorable mentions to The Fencepost Guitar Made from Sentimental Wood, by Jaime Campbell for using the tools left behind by his late father to start the craft guitar company The Creamery; and the Blindshine Lamp Made from Venetian Blinds by Christine Lupo, for a smart, striking design object that's easy for anyone to make.
