Chairs and Things

As expected the Wood workshop here at Chelsea College, has witnessed a swelling of student numbers as lots of the FDA Interior Design students come down with their found furniture and start the process of re-appropriation. As always we are intrigued to see how these pieces of furniture will be transformed giving them a new function. Below are some images taken from the past few days.

This group discuss how their two chairs will be joined together.

This group here are experimenting with bending acrylic tubes to be added to their furniture.

Lets hope somewhere isn't missing this Evac chair!
