INDEX Award: Elephant Desk
The INDEX Award challenges international design students to solve education challenges in developing world contexts! Stephen Pennington’s Elephant Walk Desk is a school desk that could easily fit in any design shop, but it is a design targeted to enhance learning environments for primary school children in Nepal, and is made from local materials using an elegant process of production. The Elephant Walk Desk is one of seven finalists in the INDEX design competition that has been developed by the Danish not-for-profit organization INDEX and UNICEF.
