A collaborative project between ECU Industrial Design and UBC CAWP (Center for Advanced Wood Production) where students were asked to design a set of outdoor furniture to be featured during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. Far Coast (Coca Cola’s brand of coffee) asked the six teams of students to create a lounge chair, a community table and a side table to promote a socially engaging atmosphere. Each piece had to be RTA (ready to assemble), constructed from blue pine wood and reflect the Far Coast brand.

This project was a collaboration between 3rd Industrial Design students at Emily Carr, and CAWP (Center for Advanced Wood Production) students at UBC. Commissioned by Farcoast, the six teams of students who were involved were asked to create a chair, a community table and side table to fit the style and embody the essence of the Farcoast brand. Selected designs were to be reproduced and placed around the city at Farcoast venues during the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games.
