- CoID AWARDS 1971 CONSUMER GOODS
Last year was not a vintage one for the traditional areas of domestic design, but the judges of the consumer goods section of the 1971 CoID Design Awards have produced evidence that the standard of design in areas of industry as far apart as powerboats, photographic equipment and pedestrian bridges has now reached international levels. The awards include a range of padlocks which are claimed to be the most secure in the world and several winning products that are achieving important export successes, while three awards go to products which exploit unique properties of plastics. Concord Lighting International maintains its record as the leading CoID Design Award-winner by earning its sixth award. The judges were Leslie Julius (chairman), managing director of Hille and member of Council, CoID; Joanne Brogden, reader at the school of fashion design, Royal College of Art; Peter Glynn Smith, consultant industrial designer; Derek Phillips, architect and lighting consultant; and Norman Stevenson, consultant designer.

- British designer Jane Atfield first created her iconic RCP2 chair in 1992. Made from recycled high density polyethylene board made from plastic bottles, the chair has a multi-coloured speckled surface that almost appears to be painted. The board was made by pressing and heating plastic chips and utilises bottles of sunscreen, shampoo and washing up liquid gathered by Atfield from community collection points. Atfield's design paved the way for the use of recycled plastic.
Atfield was inspired by Gerrit Rietveld’s Military Side Chair (1923) commenting, ‘during my time studying furniture design at the RCA in the early 1990s, I was looking for ways to connect furniture with wider political issues when I came across a sample of recycled plastic that a friend had picked up at a New York trade fair. Made by Yemm and Hart of Missouri, the material transformed post-consumer plastics such as shampoo and detergent bottles into sheet construction materials. I saw the potential for using this material - the ever-growing mounds of plastic waste around us - to construct furniture and other everyday items.’ Commenting on design at that time, she observed, ‘in the 90s, eco-design was somewhat marginalized and often seen as an eccentricity or a leftover from the hippy movement. At that time, the emphasis was on status and style-driven design, which I felt alienated from. Both furniture design and the plastics industry were very male dominated in the 90s as well, which was also alienating! Stumbling upon the American recycled plastic sample became a really exciting opportunity and led to a decade-long research project pioneering and developing recycled plastics in the UK. The demand for plastics is still growing, with less than 10% being recycled worldwide despite the well-documented, drastic effects on our health and the health of the planet.’
Atfield went on to found Made of Waste, an 'agency for recycled materials'.
