2nd March 2012

Areas: exhibitions for sale making of paintings

Next Friday night (9th March) at 6pm, The sixth ReFound pop up shop opens its doors to Belfast, showing the latest collection of restyled one-off pieces & ‘works of furniture’ by local artists and makers.

As part of the sixth ReFound pop-up shop, I was invited to restyle 4 stools comprising of wooden seats and metal legs.

I decided to utilise the rich texture and colour of the original wooden seats as the main colour and inspiration for the four designs. Each design was based upon an animal known for their brown colour, with the tint of each wooden seat directing the design placed upon it.


Below I have included pictures of the final pieces along with some work in progress pictures.

The ReFound pop-up shop will continue until 31st March at:
9 Wellington Place, Belfast, BT1 6GA
Open Tuesday – Sunday, 11am - 6pm daily; 11am - 7pm Thursday – Friday.
