Industrial Design students Sara Jane Rin of Jersey City and Avrami Rakovsky of Elizabeth participated in a three-day workshop during NYC Design Week in which they designed a bench with Brooks Atwood, assistant professor of Industrial Design in NJIT's School of Art + Design and designer Marc Thorpe. The bench was fabricated during those three days on site by a group of fabricators and is currently being discussed with the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum to become part of their permanent collection. NJIT students Darshan Patel, Kyle Gulliford, Ben Mui, and Dan Sosa attended the student workshop, where they participated in a hands-on experience with gilding and repousse techniques.
