Don Welsh’s Hygeia Bench was awarded Best New Member in the 2011 CHENG Concrete Circle of Distinction Design Challenge by judges Fu-Tung Cheng, designer (Cheng Design, Cheng Products, CHENG Concrete), Robert Brunner, industrial designer (Ammunition Group, Fuego), and Dan Gregory, editor and author (Houseplans.com).
Welsh received the first-ever award in the competition’s New Member category, an award created to showcase the efforts of artisans new to the field of concrete fabrication. He has been working with concrete for only about a year. His Hygeia Bench not only met and exceeded client expectations, it captured the attention of the competition’s judges for its dynamic use of materials and overall design excellence.
