End Of Year Show

Last night was the end of year show at college, it was a great experience to showcase my work in a public space and to see all the weeks of hard work and planning come to fruition. Peoples generous comments about my work made me feel really positive towards my products and more confident about my future business. Below are some pictures from the night.

Ta dah!

Below are the photographs of my updated chairs. After researching what was trending for Summer 2012, I decided to develop my chairs with a Palm Springs vibe. Palm trees, flamingos and exotic flowers have been seen in both homewares and fashion designs for this season. I designed fabric that was inspired by this Californian theme with palm prints and a colour palette of watery turquoises and blues, sunny yellows, hot pinks and lush greens. I used my new fabric designs to re-upholster the vintage chairs. I also painted the dark wood chairs white and light green to compliment the new fabric.

I set out to breathe new life into old furniture and make 'on-trend,' stylish, bespoke chairs, I am happy with the results so far but hope that this is just the beginning.......
