The other two entries came from industrial design students at Appalachian State University. This marks the second year in a row that students from Appalachian State have won. Peter Clare submitted a beautiful deco-inspired door handle design that includes chamfered layers that step down gracefully into a smooth grip surface area.

Professor Michael Rall adopted the contest as part of his senior-level design studio curriculum to introduce his students to real-world applications and to allow his students the freedom to research and refine their design process to fit the current market. This also allows students the opportunity to have their work reviewed by an outside entity.

Now accepting entries for Mockett’s 33rd Annual Design Competition. For more information on entering, visit https://www.mockett.com/design-competition Deadline: September 4, 2018.
