There was wine, cheese and .... a four-wheeled folding vehicle?!? Yes, that's right. The renowned Brooks Stevens Design firm has recently started a new branch in Saint Paul and graciously offered its facilities to host an exhibition of senior industrial design work. Rich Walters, senior designer and UW-Stout alumni, arranged the event with Jennifer Astwood and Noah Norton (industrial design faculty) as a way to showcase senior level industrial design work and to announce the opening of the new Brooks Stevens design facility. The Stout Seniors showed a diverse range of products developed over the semester with the basic theme of addressing a social issue.
The event was attended by a wide range of design professionals from the area including: 3M, Target Corporation, Worrell Designs, Phillips Plastics, Hubbard Scientific, Integrated Design Solutions Skyline Exhibits, and Stearns flotation.
