Our furniture design students undertook a restoration project and they skillfully brought new life to their selected pieces. They sourced their pieces from charity shops and their grandparents. Hours of work were spent stripping back the wood, sanding and finishing surfaces, repairing any damages and reupholstering. Enjoy the "Before and After" photos.
Congratulations to DFEi students of Marketing, Science and Architectural Design and Technology.
