The CNC Music Factory won both the Jury Award and People’s Choice Award for their intriguing piece of street furniture. This team’s strategy was to let the one REstore item drive their design, and the radiator they chose offered a consistent module and gave them the opportunity to sculpt it’s pieces into a lounge chair which “isn’t as uncomfortable as it looks”. Take a look at what critics have regarded as “arguably the most important reuse of cast iron radiator modules in the past couple of months”. For more information on the lounge chair, the team, and what went into the making this impressive piece of street furniture, check out their website: <a href="Were%20pleased%20to%20announce%20the%20winner%20of%20the%202012%20Seattle%20Design%20Jam:%20the%20Radiator%20Lounge!%20The%20CNC%20Music%20Factory%20won%20both%20the%20Jury%20Award%20and%20Peoples%20Choice%20Award%20for%20their%20intriguing%20piece%20of%20street%20furniture.%20This%20teams%20strategy%20was%20to%20let%20the%20one%20REstore%20item%20drive%20their%20design,%20and%20the%20radiator%20they%20chose%20offered%20a%20consistent%20module%20and%20gave%20them%20the%20opportunity%20to%20sculpt%20its%20pieces%20into%20a%20lounge%20chair%20which%20isnt%20as%20uncomfortable%20as%20it%20looks.%20Take%20a%20look%20at%20what%20critics%20have%20regarded%20as%20arguably%20the%20most%20important%20reuse%20of%20cast%20iron%20radiator%20modules%20in%20the%20past%20couple%20of%20months.%20For%20more%20information%20on%20the%20lounge%20chair,%20the%20team,%20and%20what%20went%20into%20the%20making%20this%20impressive%20piece%20of%20street%20furniture,%20check%20out%20radiatorlounge.com.%20" title="radiatorlounge.com" target="_blank">radiatorlounge.com</a>. </span></p></p>http://seattledesignjam.com/post/32291843601http://seattledesignjam.com/post/32291843601Tue, 25 Sep 2012 16:32:32 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_max2sg72Ic1rdhba7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/87132956@N03/8022051955/" title="Design Jam Entry" target="_blank">Design Jam Entry</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/87132956@N03/" target="_blank">DesigninPublic_SeattleDesignFestival</a> on Flickr.</p>http://seattledesignjam.com/post/32270736862http://seattledesignjam.com/post/32270736862Tue, 25 Sep 2012 10:48:15 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_max2s2bdFY1rdhba7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/87132956@N03/8022054444/" title="Design Jam Entry" target="_blank">Design Jam Entry</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/87132956@N03/" target="_blank">DesigninPublic_SeattleDesignFestival</a> on Flickr.</p>http://seattledesignjam.com/post/32270727797http://seattledesignjam.com/post/32270727797Tue, 25 Sep 2012 10:48:02 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_max2rrBVGU1rdhba7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/87132956@N03/8022052783/" title="Design Jam Entry" target="_blank">Design Jam Entry</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/87132956@N03/" target="_blank">DesigninPublic_SeattleDesignFestival</a> on Flickr.</p>http://seattledesignjam.com/post/32270719293http://seattledesignjam.com/post/32270719293Tue, 25 Sep 2012 10:47:51 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_max2ov4eGz1rdhba7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joebehr/8013742454/" title="Outdoor Furniture: Chaise From Old Radiators" target="_blank">Outdoor Furniture: Chaise From Old Radiators</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joebehr/" target="_blank">JoeInSouthernCA</a> on Flickr.</p><p>Radiator Lounge by CNC Music Factory</p>http://seattledesignjam.com/post/32270643340http://seattledesignjam.com/post/32270643340Tue, 25 Sep 2012 10:46:07 -0700Seattlecityscape<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mavblxm2Ck1rdhba7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/architecturegeek/8010527971/" title='Seattle Design Jam furniture competition.
