WORKSHOP PART 1 – ORGANIZED COFFEE TABLE

27 November , 2021

This workshop is a new experience for me and I will also learn a lot from it for which I am very excited. This week the workshop was booked for us for two days, Thursday and Friday , which is located in Eldon building.

First of all our task was to come to the workshop with any one of the furniture that belong to Body-sized. I bought an old trunk from the British Heart Foundation for fifteen pounds because I always wanted a perfect organized coffee table , In which everything I need should have a proper place. This image is of my trunk when I bought it.

Thursday I had no idea I just had something that is a clear image of my messy coffee table in mind and the idea that I just want to give this thing a proper place in this trunk. This is how my coffee table looks with all these mess.

I initially loosened the trunk lid and cut a rectangular section right in the middle of the trunk. The idea behind it was that I could put inside all my things like laptop, book, magazines, newspaper, snacks, etc. and make a separate compartment for all this. Now the second challenge for me was how to make my trunk look good and for that I had the idea that I would give my trunk the look of an Indian traditional trunk look.

Personally I love this trunk by it’s colors and design and I decided to make this design on my coffee table with bright colors. This exercise continued for our next week also Now I am also very excited to see how I can make this trunk look good with this Indian traditional pattern and colors.
