Jenny Island Canda Bank by Graham Paker Ansell
Yup. If one great design is cool, well…why not go for two? Here’s the next finalist in the GFL “Make Change” competition (and the second entry from Graham):
The Jenny Island Canada Bank, also by Graham Parker Ansell, is a 10-inch tall mahogany box construction embellished by brass inlay images of Jenny Island and the pelicans which fly around the island in the summer. Coins are placed in the bird’s eye image of Jenny Island, then ring three hidden chimes before collecting in the coin reservoir.
Finalists’ designs will be displayed in the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center’s Crystal Palace lobby during the summe“Designer Distinction Award”r 2010 NYIGF. Two awards (a “Peoples’ Choice Award” based on voting by market participants, and a as determined by a panel of professional designers – Mark Blackwell, Sandy Chilewich and Evette Rios) will be presented.
Proceeds from the competition will benefit the charitable efforts of Gift For Life and its sole beneficiary, DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS, one of the largest funders of HIV/AIDS service and education programs in the U.S. Since its founding in 1984, DIFFA has mobilized the resources of the design communities to provide more than $38 million to hundreds of AIDS organizations nationwide.
