The furniture was made during the 2009-2010 academic year in furniture design and construction studio classes instructed by Professors David Brown, Steve Davidson, and Rod Troyer.

In his prize presentation remarks, juror representative Mike Kirkpatrick said the jurors used three criteria-design, marketability and craftsmanship-to make their award decisions. “Many of the jurors have juried this competition for a number of years,” he said. “We never cease to be amazed at the ever-increasing level of creativity and workmanship in the students’ furniture designs and construction. Coming to K-State each year for this competition is something we truly look forward to,” Kirkpatrick said.

The KCADDR is a furniture and furnishings interest group in the metropolitan Kansas City area.  This year’s competition jurors included Kathy Anderson, Designtex; Sara DiMaggio, Interior Landscape, Inc.; Kevin Dougherty, Home Depot; Bill Gapske, Sr., Home Depot; Mike Kirkpatrick, Encompas; Ed Kinney and Jim Pettijohn, Pettijohn Kinney Architects and Interiors; Jennifer Peterson, Caddy Reproduction; and Ray Secrest, Secrest Architectural Interiors.
