Dress it up
In today's consumerist society of six-month leases and three-month fashions, small scratches and imperfections on household furniture, are accepted as reasons for replacement, and disposability is encouraged. As we continue to throw away furniture for the latest 'Ikea' model do we think about how much of the World's resources we are condemning to landfill?

'Dress-It-Up' is an attempt to show people how effectively you can transform broken old furniture, encouraging longevity, and challenging the mass-produced. Using entirely discarded furniture found on the streets of Leeds and donated second hand clothing, 'Dress-it-up' fixes broken furniture, and symbolically bandages their wounds with old clothes prepared into a real of bandages.
