Tormek Scholarship Award

Since 2013, the Tormek Scholarship Award has been given to a senior student, majoring in woodworking or design. The purpose is to shed light on sharpening and to encourage you who aspire to high professional qualifications and want to invest time in your woodwork.

Regardless of whether you are using edge tools in your profession or in your hobby, sharp tools are crucial for the result. We are honoured to see that Tormek has been a part of the process in these creative and challenging projects below!

2016: Kristian Olsen Frandsen

Congratulations to Kristian Olsen Frandsen, who receives this year’s Tormek Scholarship Award with his table “FiKa”- a piece that combines traditional and contemporary craft techniques. During the last two years, Kristian has studied at Capellagården’s School of craft and design at Öland (Sweden) and he now looks forward to new challenges in his promising career.

2015: Anton Brunberg

We are happy to congratulate Anton Brunberg who is the Tormek Scholar for 2015. As always, the applicants’ work was to a very high standard, but we all fell for Anton’s elegant and playful desk “City Safari”. Anton recently finished his studies at the Cabinetmaking and Furniture Design College at Capellagården in Öland, Sweden and he will now proceed with his design studies at the Design Academy Eindhoven in Holland.

2014: Johan Arvidsson

So it’s done! Amongst the many qualified applications, it was Johan Arvidsson from Gothenburg who took home the Tormek Scholarship Award for 2014. He impressed the panel of judges with his cabinet “Sixty Degrees” consisting of over 1200 different pieces.
