Far Coast Coffee Furniture - Group 776

description

During the Spring 2009 semester, Far Coast Coffee (Coke-a-Cola brand coffee) asked Emily Carr industrial design students and UBC's Center for Advanced Wood Processing, to design a set of furniture to be used at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic games. Designers were only allowed to use blue pine wood, each design needed to be ready to assemble, and designs needed to follow Far Coast’s branding standards.

Each team designed a lounge chair, side table, and conference table to be featured at Olympic venues where Far Coast would be promoting their coffee in their “warming zones.” Three of the seven teams would have their designs built and manufactured locally. Of the seven groups, our group 776 came in first place. However, due to circumstances out of our control, Far Coast deemed it was more efficient to produce one groups project, as opposed to three.
