So, over the summer I decided to think of some ideas that I wanted to produce in my final year at university. The past 2 years I have focused mainly in using plastics and polymers; especially last year when both of my projects used resin. I had made a series of bowls using sand and seaweed, as well as making bracelets which lit up when activated by a phone app in regards to a project called Designing for the Future.
I started looking online, and found a bunch of inspiring designers who use a lot of resin in their work. I got the idea to start looking at the mixture of resin and wood because they are such opposite materials, that when combined it looks so unlike much of the wooden furniture most of us are used to. I feel that the mixture of plastics and natural materials, like wood, looks very modern and allows extra colour and provides a very different approach to furniture making.
Some of the designers and artists i came by are here below:

This is by far the most amazing piece of furniture I've ever seen.
