I was pleased to see that the Church of England have recently launched a competition to design 2 different church chairs.
Their promotional material states:
'The Cathedral and Church Buildings Division headed by Director, Janet Gough, is hosting a competition aimed at inspiring leading designers, design students and manufacturers to engage with the design of church seating that combines good design with comfort, whilst maintaining sympathy with historic interiors.
The competition is a unique opportunity for a designer to contribute to the evolving history of the Church of England which is responsible for 16,000 parish churches. We want to encourage the production of designs that will enhance the buildings they are placed in and that will be celebrated by our own and future generations.'
Whilst I am not sure that I will be able to contribute, it is very interesting, do read http://www.churchcare.co.uk/pdf_view.php?id=272 for more information.
