European travel brings new perspectives

The Ian Howard Memorial Scholarship gives exceptional interior design students the opportunity to experience European furniture design and manufacturing first-hand.

Ian Howard was a distinguished local designer and maker, having established Aristoc Industries, Featherston Interiors, and CoDesign during his lifetime.

Now, a scholarship established in his honour by his son, Paul Howard, is supporting the next generation of designers in exploring their craft and international practices.

In this video, Paul Howard, Director of Melbourne-based commercial office furniture manufacturer, importer, and wholesaler HOW., and scholarship recipient Anh Tran, explain the intent and the impact of this enriching philanthropic partnership.
