Henry Wilson Won the 2011 Bombay Sapphire Design Discovery Award.

A prize that recognises young, emerging Australian designers.

His project  A-joint is really a celebration of standardisation. The table is one particular thing you could perceivably make with the A-Joint. Basically, it unites pre-dimensional lumber. Lumber throughout the western world or the developing world is of two main dimensional sizes, 90 by 45 and 70 by 35 and the A-Joint has provisions for both of these to make a structure so you can use dry joinery, no screws, no glue. You can take it apart and you don't damage any of the wood, you can reuse the wood in many different combinations - legs, tops and tables. You can really make whatever you like, it really is an inclusive rather than exclusive furniture system.
