Hughesville, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) January 15, 2018
Robyn Lee Boettcher, an interior design instructor from Tucson, Arizona, created the winning pattern chosen from dozens submitted to the Acrovyn by Design® Patterns Contest.
The national contest was sponsored by Construction Specialties (CS), a leading manufacturer of specialty building products, and judged by professionals from leading design firms including HOK and ESA.
Boettcher’s pattern will be included in the 2018 Acrovyn by Design patterns collection. The collection gives design professionals refined possibilities for healthcare, commercial and educational settings. The wall protection is comprised of a .040 inch-thick rigid sheet made from sustainable, durable Acrovyn®. Acrovyn by Design is manufactured by embedding high-resolution digital imagery behind impact-resistant, PVC-free, rigid Acrovyn sheet.
“As we enhance our collection, we involve designers in the creative process,” said Bill Kadi, Senior General Manager at Construction Specialties. “This contest was a celebration of designers and of our commitment to great design that lasts. Our 2018 pattern collection will feature Robyn’s work within a portfolio created for and by designers.”
Boettcher, who was awarded a $5,000 cash prize for her winning design, teaches design at Southwest University of Visual Arts in Tucson, Arizona. Her timeless design was inspired by her new career as a university professor. Boettcher’s concept was to ignite imagination while demonstrating the importance of participating in design competitions to her students.
“While I am extremely honored to be included in the Acrovyn by Design 2018 collection, the most exciting aspect for me as an artist, educator, and shaper of interior space will be collaborating with the CS team to bring my vision to life,” said Boettcher. “I envision an imaginative and expressive commercial wall covering that inspires an unexpected response from the viewer. I intend to thoroughly absorb every detail of this process and integrate it into my classroom and ASID Student Chapter competitions.”
