The IFDA EF CLIFF YOUNG, LTD  CONTEMPORARY-MODERN FURNITURE DESIGN COMPETITION. 

At Cliff Young Ltd, suite 505: 7:15 PM   Meet the Ryerson Student who won,  Karunadhipathi Lihin Weera, and hear about hjs innovative winning design as the “interlocking of two stools that form into a table,” which means it’s essentially a triple-purpose project. Each stool, to be made of molded polymer hollowed out to lighten its bulk, would weigh just over six pounds, thus could be moved about easily or combined, creating a table.
