Harfleet Will Be Hoping to Replicate His Gold Medal Success at Last Year's Show

Philips Sponsor Tom Harfleet's Conceptual Garden

This year's event will take place from 5 July to 10 July where Harfleet will be hoping to replicate his gold medal success at last year's show.

According to Harfleet,his 2011 entry–The Bright Idea–aims to embody the human thought process replicating the brainwave of someone who is dreaming.

A fine mesh tube will span the length of the garden and has a central spine covered in LEDs which will pulse along the 27 metre structure reinforcing the wave theme.The planting surrounding the formation will be single species of grass which moves in the breeze and is used to represent brain matter.

Speaking on his concept,Harfleet said:''All the best ideas come from nature and my aim is to recreate this in this year's design showing how technology and nature are linked.The flexible and dynamic characteristics of LEDs have enabled me to realise this'eureka moment',The Bright Idea,in a way which I hope will inspire visitors but above all make them smile.''

Commenting on the initiative,Peter Maskell,chairman and managing director of Philips Electronics said:''We are delighted to be able to sponsor and encourage young,talented designers in this way,particularly in projects such as this which showcase how light can be used in new and imaginative ways enhancing the visitor experience.''
