The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) has named the winners of its Student Designer Awards 2018.

Created to meet the brief of ‘Eat, Share, Live’, focused on the design of multi-generational kitchens, three winners shared the prize.

According to the organisation, it attracted record entries: 104 students from 38 different courses at 40 universities in over 10 countries took part.

Students were asked to consider the oldest and youngest members of the household, as well as wheelchair users and those with impaired eyesight, and other physical and mental disabilities.

The Student Designer Award was presented to Tim Chapman, who designed a silicone guide to prevent pans slipping off ceramic or induction hobs and Nora Costello who created a rotating storage system of cupboards on a wall-mounted track (shown).

The third equal winner was an entire compact kitchen which can be transported flat, and then assembled without the need for power tools, designed by Chung Hang Chiu.
