TAFE students on work placement at IKEA Rhodes

Up-and-coming local designers have the chance to win a $2,000 grant to help them gain professional qualifications next year, thanks to IKEA Rhodes and TAFE NSW – South Western Sydney Institute (SWSi).

To be in with a chance, they must demonstrate their creativity by redesigning a corner of their own home using images of IKEA’s products from its iconic catalogue. Entries will be published on the Lidcombe Xposed Facebook Page where members of the public will be encouraged to show their support by ‘liking’ their favourite design.

The top 5 entries with the most Facebook likes will then be printed and displayed at the Rhodes store between Monday 30 December 2013 and Friday 10 January 2014, where customers will get the final say.

Lidcombe Design graduates from TAFE NSW – South Western Sydney Institute (SWSi) have made their debut into the industry at Designing Your Future, a graduate exhibition at Sydney Olympic Park’s Armory Gallery.

Now in its second year, Designing Your Future is an educational design collaboration between Sydney Olympic Park and SWSi’s Lidcombe Design students. It celebrates cutting edge design work across the creative disciplines of furniture design, product design, interior design, interior decoration and design fundamentals.

It was opened last week by Robyn Holt, former Vogue Living editor and presenter on The Renovators. Her advice to students was to listen, be motivated and have respect.
