Diploma Students' Work
A selection of Diploma in Interior Design students' work from the furniture design module, done under my supervision and tutoring as module leader.
I brought in a much more conceptual approach to this module, which was previously dominated by briefs centered around common interior settings, such as Office Furniture and Residential Furniture. Since this module only serves as a secondary subject for two semesters in the entire diploma course, I sought to reduce its focus on technical aspects, and instead introduce more material-based, hand on projects for the students.
