You've met our judges, seen our finalists and then our runners up. So here's the big one; the overall winner of the Student Design Awards 2010...
Our winner is Noel Sweeney, who takes the prize and earns the coveted title of Student Designer of the Year!
Here's a little extra info about Noel's entry:
Noel Sweeney
Connexel poplar plywood multi-use chair/table/stool
- College: GMIT Letterfrack
- Course: Furniture Design and Manufacture
- Inspiration: A childhood passion for mechano and K’nex toy sets.
- Why we love it: It’s the ultimate flatpack – simplicity itself, with no screws required -and we could personalise it as we see fit. Packed with potential.
- Why the judges love it: “Noel clearly understood and interpreted the brief very well. The product’s multi-functional concept, the use of sustainable wood and its reduction of wastage in production gave it strong eco-credentials. It was also well-resolved and well-made, so it was a definite winner,” says Leo Scarff.

Finally, we'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who entered this year, and we hope you'll all join us in congratulating Noel for his win!
