CCA Student Wins Design Award for Her Whimsical Tableware
San Francisco, April 20, 2004
Alice Orleman, an undergraduate in CCA's Industrial Design Program, won an honorable mention in the eleventh annual International Housewares Association Design Competition (held March 20–22, 2004, in Chicago) for her serving set called Toro.
Orleman's whimsical take on the table setting features bowls shaped like bulls, designed to nestle up to a matching serving trough. Designed for casual dining with friends and family, Toro provides practical solutions to problems like dripping food onto tablecloths, while adding playful style to the average dinner party.
Orleman designed Toro as part of a sponsored project with Tupperware that ran during a CCA industrial design course in the fall 2003 semester. The focus of the project was "tablescapes" of the future in the domestic environment.
