The work of Adam Lynch

Adams work uses the technology to cut, router & drill his products components. The mighty machine that does this is the CNC (Computer Numerical Control). Just one catch though, somebody has to program the design in.....Thankgod the machines of today are more user friendly. 

The machines allow for pin point accuracy, waste reduction, repetition without difference, multiple tool set up, 3 axis setup or even 5 axis! The list goes on and on depending on the type of CNC.

 His designs use joints that are strong and efficient in holding the structure together. His exploration in using different materials and joining methods aided with not using glue combines for a beautifully balanced range of products.




I just want to sit on these!


These colourful stools would go well in a cafe...

"The Qantas Spirit Of Youth Awards 365 (SOYA 365) has been the leading grants program for emerging creative talent for over seven years."





 

This year I have chosen to enter into SOYA 2012. 



This amazing program is here to give young Australians the opportunity to show their work off. It is here to help all designers, artists, writers, film & video, fashion, animation, architecture and photographers aspiring to become what they have dreamed to become since embarking on their journey.


I myself wish good luck to all the entrants. 


For my particular section (Qantas SOYA Craft & Object Award). If one of us is chosen, a 12 month mentorship with a professional in our field - Marc Newson will be given to the lucky winner. And to top it off, Flights to the UK plus ticket to the London design festival aswell.
