Design Mobel Creative Workshop

Leaving Unitec at 6.00am wasn't everyones idea of fun, nor was the 3.5hr drive down to Tauranga, but there wasnt much choice if we were going to make the best of the day ahead.

Arriving at 9.30 at Design Mobel, we started work at 10.00 with a tour of the workshop facilities.

The workshop began in earnest at about 11.00. We worked through a serise of exercises in groups of 3 or 4 begining with wide and open questions slowly refining our answers until each group had something to share.

The exercises began with word definitions then moved to observation and pictorial association ending with design drawing and idea generation.

Finishing at 5.oopm we were met with the promise from DM that they would decide which of the final 2 designs they preferred and that they would being prototyping immediately.
