People’s Choice Winner…

Street and Park Furniture were excited to attend the South Australian AILA Awards held on the 29th of October at the Science Exchange.

Street and Park’s own Michelle Herbut and Tamrah Petruzzelli from The Adelaide Review presented the award on the night. And we’d like to congratulate the winner’s, Wax Design and Ric McConaghy for Wombat Waterhole, Hazelwood Park Playspace! 
Street and Park would also like to congratulate the lucky voter, Sue Poulton from Beulah Park. Sue has chosen the Grindle Seat and I’m sure it will be the perfect addition to her backyard.

Well done to all the winner’s on the evening, and thanks again for letting us be a part of your special night.

Hope to see you again next year!

INNOVATION WILL GIVE THE EDGE

Street and Park Furniture, along with Rossi Boots, have been selected under a pilot program to work with business advisers and design specialists to develop new strategies for growth.
 
“Managing Director, Cameron Johnston is convinced better cities start at street level.
So he is focusing on good, well-designed street furniture to help achieve that aim.
The Street and Park Furniture managing director says that to deliver on function and form is at times quite challenging, particularly when the market is looking for a bespoke solution rather than an off-the-shelf item.”

To help improve manufacturing and design competitiveness for his leading-edge furniture design company, Street and Park Furniture applied to be a part of the Design Integration Program, which is modelled on a NZ program which has seen success to over 70 companies since its conception.

“Mr Johnston said he was excited by opportunities the new State and Federal Government program would give local businesses to gain a competitive edge by using innovative design.”

By Nigel Austin from AdelaideNow, and as seen in the SA Business Journal as part of The Advertiser.

The Street and Park team have just completed a two day Audit/Review with the Design Integration panel which included overseers from the New Zealand Design Integration Program (http://equipdesign.co.nz/) and will await the report due in January.

Bring on an improved 2012!

INTERNATIONAL PARK(ing) DAY!


PARK(ing) Day is an annual, worldwide event that invites people everywhere to transform metered parking spots into temporary parks for the public.

Last year this event transformed 850 parks in 183 cities in 30 countries!

2011 PARK(ing) Day, held on Friday 16th of September, saw Street and Park Furniture and Wax Design supplying furniture to PARK(ing) magicians and landscape contractors, Outside Idea’s and urban consultants InfraPlan. Their space on Rundle St in Adelaide’s east, was transformed into a tranquil reading space, which we’re sure was utilised by customers of the Mary Martin Book Shop conveniently located opposite the ‘park’. 


 
Street and Park were proud to be a part of this worldwide event and hope that it continues to grow in the future, and support any event that improves urban quality.

Next year, don’t park your car…park your bum, or bike or book!
