HAWORTH SHOWROOM
IIDA MICHIGAN THINK UP DESIGN COMPETITION
This design was created for the Think Up 2024 design competition with The IIDA, sponsered by Haworth. It involved collaboration with students from schools including Michigan State University, Lawrence Technological University, Kendall College of Art and Design, and Western Michigan University. We were split up into two groups and given one week to complete a redesign of Haworth’s showroom, located in Houston, Texas.
The objective was to think of a creative solution that t Haworth’s brand and values and is designed with intent to aid future development.
This led my team including Tressa Fidler (Senior at Kendall College), Madi Clark (Junior at Lawrence Tech. University), Adrienne Wright (Junior at Michigan State University) and I to develop a concept built around the values of exibility, the Haworth family feel, innovative technology, collaboration, and sustainability.
The process included virtual meetings daily in which we brought various ideas and discussed to reach a nal design. We started by each individually exploring spatial designs, design feature ideas, and conceptual diagrams and then bringing them to one nal solution, overall allowing us to explore various outcomes.
