Awards

2015 Robert Bruce Thompson Annual Student Light Fixture Design Competition

You have a client opening a wine bar and restaurant in a major west coast city, and they want you to design a signature pendant to mount over the bar plus a complementary surface-mounted luminaire for the lounge area. What do you do?

That was the challenge to students for the 2015 Robert Bruce Thompson Annual Student Light Fixture Design Competition.

First place (shown below) was earned by Chelsea Brukardt of Ringling College of Art + Design.
