Michelle Klisowsky wins "Best Sustainable Design"

Third year Bachelor of Design interiors student Michelle Kilsowsky was recently awarded "Best Sustainable Design" at the Melbourne Fringe Festival.

Michelle describes that "It's important to question people's ability to think outside the square therefore ‘Fork' reinvents the purpose of an everyday utensil. The recycled steel frame reinforces the strength of this sustainable piece, keeping it raw and refined whilst exuding beauty and charisma.

"I feel that it's important to question people's ability to think outside the square therefore ‘Fork' reinvents the purpose of an everyday utensil. This collection of vintage forks gained its inspiration funnily enough at the dinner table. Proportion played a huge role in the execution of the 450x450x450 object as the fork placement was crucial to balance the sculpture in accordance with the golden mean. The recycled steel frame reinforces the strength of this sustainable piece, keeping it raw and refined whilst exuding beauty and charisma."

Currently doing freelance work, Michelle hopes to enter the internation market, after completion of her Bachelor of Design, and work within larger firms who share her passion for furniture design and sculptural projects.
