Jury Team
Harry Allen Principle of Harry Allen Design Harry Allen is an award-winning, multidisciplinary designer. He has created innovative, brand-specific work for a wide variety of clients including the New York design gallery Moss, MAC cosmetics, Kidrobot, and La Mer. His most recent project, the DuPont Corianâ Design Studio in Philadelphia, quite literally stretches the boundaries of design. His unique vision also extends to product design, with clients including, IKEA, Johnson & Johnson, Magis, Steuben, and Umbra. His high-concept Reality line of home goods for Areaware has proven to be great commercial success and his fragrance bottle design for Marc Jacobs' BANG has received wide attention.
Rama Chorpash Industrial Designer and Director of Product Design at Parsons the New School for Design Rama Chorpash Design focuses on the exchange between people and everyday things. Embedded in each design is an exploration of social use and the interactions they cause. His work has been widely published, from The New York Times Style Magazine to Metropolis, and his projects have been exhibited coast to coast, from the Museum of Modern Art to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and internationally, from Portugal's Bienal da Prata to Switzerland's Design Miami/Basel Art Fair. As Associate Professor and Director of Product Design at Parsons the New School for Design, Chorpash's design discourse extends from this academic setting to confront ostensibly contradictory issues such as manufacturing and sustainability, materialism and equity, consumerism and need, as well as globalism and localism.
Zoe Coombes Co-Founder and Principal of Cmmnwlth Zoe Coombes is the co-founder of Cmmnwlth, the studio name under which her and her partner David Boira, produce furniture, art, and that which lands between. She received her Masters degree in Architecture from Columbia University and shortly thereafter began working at the smaller, more detailed scale of furniture. Dedicated to an investigation of contemporary tools and their intersection with craft-based processes of production, the studio has been commissioned by culture-driven clients such as Issey Miyake, Warp Records, and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and currently produces designs for the new American furniture label MatterMade.
Maria Popova Editor-in-Chief of Brain Pickings Maria Popova is the founder and editor in chief of Brain Pickings, a curated cabinet of cross-disciplinary interestingness.
