A product design student from Sheffield Hallam University has won a major national award for his innovative and sustainable washing machine designs.
Chris Redford was shortlisted for the Royal Society of Art’s (RSA) Student Design Awards 2013 along with fellow students Elliot Morgan and Peter Larkam, all final year students on Sheffield Hallam’s MDes Product Design course.
The winning design was chosen by a panel of industry judges this week. Chris, 22, from Manchester, was given the top prize for his radical new domestic washing machine that is designed to be repaired by the consumer without the need for a technician.
