C2 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesdsay March 24, 1999 Homes & Gardens Sylvia Lee made the cabinet at the far left, that she calls Recollection. Jon Gourley's folding table (bottom left) is truly unique and Sylvia Lee's table (top cen­ tre) is aptly- named '4 Winds'. The chair-cum-table (left) of cherry and steel is called 'Hope's nose' by Gord West. And that's Jeff Brady's tele­ phone stand (bottom right). Furniture students show innovative designs at exhibit (Continued from page C1) needed to carry it off. This year's exhibition features an eclectic combination of materials and designs encompassing everything from a set of foot stools to exotic-looking tables, cabinets and lamps. These artistically-rendered, one-of- a-kind pieces are not the type of furni­ ture you're going to find in the average Canadian family room. Although all of the pieces are creat­ ed to be functional, rafc they are also fSJjr designed to explore t, the form and idea of furniture in new i ways. »s®8S; S tudent Sylvia Lee describes one of her B 8 » cabinets as "a walk around piece that is Jf?

This award is pre­ sented each year to a promising new artist who in turn can commission a piece of his or her choice from another up and coming artist. The winner this year was Toronto landscape architect Janet Rosenberg who in turn selected Earnshaw to create a new conference table for her offices. Earnshaw is now working under a tight deadline to have the table designed and built for a May 25th unveiling at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
